Are you fascinated by bacteria, viruses and unicellular fungi, including their immense diversity? Knowledge in microbiology is of fundamental importance within a wide range of fields – including everything from medicine and food to geology and meteorology. There are consequently many different industries available to microbiologists in the labour market. Both macroscopic life and element cycling are dependent on bacteria and unicellular fungi. Knowledge in microbiology is therefore important for all types of biology and for several other subject areas such as medicine, food, agriculture, technology, chemistry, geology and meteorology. During this Master’s programme you will learn, for example, how microorganisms are used to produce food, bulk chemicals and fine chemicals, including drugs. You will also obtain knowledge on how bacteria, viruses and unicellular fungi are used as powerful experimental systems in basic research and applied research.
