Students may study in the MA programmes "Biotechnology and Applied Ecology", "Biodiversity and Collection Management" and "Ecosystem Services" (starting in the winter term 2017/18). Ongoing research projects always offer opportunities to perform experimental work in preparation of MA theses. The aforementioned MA programmes are jointly run with the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz and the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History Görlitz.
