Quick answers to FAQs of some current courses
OVERVIEW of COURSES. You should find everything in the Degree Course Regulations (Studienordnung), in the 2024 module handbook, or the 2025 module handbook. If not, remember to ask your peers first. Only if they don't know, please ask the exam office; if they don't know the module advisor, then the course advisor, then the coordinator.
AQUA [general qualifications]- Choose any 5 CP course(s) offered by the TU Dresden. If you have other ideas, speak to the module advisor Dr Otti.
LAB ROTATION Both lab rotations cannot be done in the same laboratory. One of the lab rotations must be research. For both, you need an internal supervisor (= staff member BioS). More detailed instructions and form sheets can be obtained in the exam office. Lab Rotations must not be simple preparatory projects for the Master thesis (but can be carried out in the same lab).
