Time Table
Time Table of the Program M. Sc. Plant Sciences
One year of study (2 semesters) is divided into 8 time frames (TF) beginning with the start of the winter semester in October.
Time frames TF1, TF2 and TF3 each are maximal 5 weeks long and fall into the lecture time of the winter semester, with TF1 and TF2 before Christmas, and TF3 after Christmas holidays. The time frames TF5, TF6 and TF7 (each 5 weeks) fall into the lecture time of the summer semester. The longer time frames TF4 (8 weeks) and TF8 (10 weeks) are placed into the lecture -free time between the winter and summer semesters.
Theory (lecture and seminar) modules are placed into the time frames TF1, TF2,TF3 in winter semester or TF5, TF6, TF7 in the summer semester.
Lab course modules can be accomplished within one time frame in TF1, TF2, TF3, TF5, TF6 or TF7.
This leaves ample time for planning individual (external) practical courses and internships during TF4 and TF8.
In the following time tables, courses of obligatory choice categories are color coded according to:
Plant Biochemistry, Physiology and Molecular Biology: Red
Plant Cell Biology and Development: Blue/Purple
Plant Biodiversity, Evolution and Systematics: Green.
*Early October: Potentially INTRODUCTORY EVENTS organized by third parties (e.g. International Office, Student Council, etc.).
Further courses might be selected depending on your personal time schedule.
