This is an international degree course in which, in addition to professional qualifications, one of the training objectives is the acquisition of a high level of intercultural competence. The field of Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature and the degree course is set up accordingly. This enables students to actively engage in a wide range of microbiological fields of work. The international degree course in Microbiology is designed in such a way that graduates meet the requirements of the international labour market in basic research and in all areas of applied microbiology.
