All students may transfer the credit points to the "Focal Areas in Sustainability Research" module (learning agreement). Be aware of special participation requirements. MSD 2010 Studierende mit Studienvariante Phil.-Nat. können diese LV entweder im publizierten Wahlbereich oder im Vertiefungsbereich Phil.-Nat. anrechnen lassen (learning contract). Preliminary meeting (Vorbesprechung): 27.02.2019/at 6.15 pm (aprox. 1 hour); Preparation meeting of one day: 13.06.2019/starts at 09.15 am (detailed schedule tba) field trip: 15.06.19 (arrival day) to 23.06.19 (departure day). This field trip is offered by MSD. Prof. Dr. Patricia Holm is a member of the teaching committee MSD. Furthermore, she is head of the research group Man-Society-Environment (MSE) and TQNE. Karen Bussmann holds a Master's Degree in Biology (Major in Evolution and Ecology) and is realizing her PhD in the research group of MSE. |
| Admission requirements | Special course application required for ALL (for details see "course application" or "Anmeldung"). Limited number of participants (19), Students of the MSD and those of the mentioned fields of study have priority (see list of modules; students of the bachelor’s degree in Biology have been registered at least during 2 semesters in this field of study - incl. spring semester 19). If you study something different you must do a master's degree within the 'Faculty of Natural Science' and may participate in case of vacancies. Further entry requirements for MSD students: MSD 2017 Students who have chosen the focus area in social sciences or in economics must have completed the 'Complementary Knowledge in Natural Sciences' module (incl. courses of spring semester 19). MSD 2010 Die Studierenden mit den Studienvarianten Phil.-Hist. und WW haben die Grundlagen- und Aufbaubereiche Phil.-Nat. bis und mit FS 19 weitestgehend abgeschlossen, mindestens jedoch 12 KP für beide Module erworben (inkl. Belegungen vom FS 19). |
