M.Sc. Computer Science — Profile Area Biology

Before taking up studies in this profile area, registration in the Office of the Dean of Studies of the Department of Biology (room 1089) is required. Since the choices may be limited due to admission restrictions, it is recommended to attend the information event on module selection and, if necessary, to use the advisory services of the Department of Biology (contact person: Dr. Maier).

The current import offer as well as possible occupancy regulations and restrictions are presented on the website of the study program (§ 6 para. 9) or in the online module handbook linked there.
