| Learning objectives | In the block course «Plant Biology» you will learn fundamental experimental methods in plant biology. The main goal is to familiarize students with theoretical and practical methods in plant research from the cell of a plant to the ecosystem. The course is designed so that you can independently apply these methods in small research projects, either in the laboratory or in the field. In this way, you will learn about the practical aspects of modern plant sciences and gain experience addressing your own research questions. |
| Comments | For biology students only, limited number of places Compulsory attendance Please bring your own laptop or borrow one from IT Services |
