Microbial Ecology Masters Curriculum
Microorganisms are essential to the well-being of animals and humans and are the keepers of Earth‘s ecosystems. Understanding of the chemical and molecular interactions between microorganisms, viruses, symbiotic hosts, and the environment requires holistic approaches and collaboration across different scientific disciplines.
A dedicated module for Microbial Ecology within the Master Curriculum Molecular Microbiology, Microbial Ecology, and Immunobiology offers top-level research and training at the interface between Microbiology, Ecology, Biogeochemistry, Immunobiology, Molecular Biology & Evolution.
Please see the University of Vienna homepage for students for general information on admission to Master programmes.
