New MSc-Program in Evolutionary Biology and Biomedical Sciences
The Graduate School for Biomedical Sciences Hannover at University of Veterinary
Medicine Hannover Foundation (TiHo) offers a research-oriented Master of Science
Program in Evolutionary Biology and Biomedical Sciences for German and foreign
students.
This modular Master’s program presents a unique combination of Evolutionary biology and
veterinary medicine, with a flexible, modular curriculum that allows you to tailor
your study to match your particular interests.
The program is grouped into three specialist areas focusing on
- evolution, animal biodiversity and behaviour;
- cellular, developmental and systems neurobiology;
- infection biology.
During the first semester, all three areas will be covered. In the second semester, you
will select courses of your choice from two of the three themes. The second year
(semesters 3 + 4), your study will focus your studies on just one of these tracks.
Admission to the program requires a BSc degree in Biology, Biochemistry,
Biomedicine or related subjects. We offer a fast -track route (without master thesis)
to our PhD program for excellent students.
What you can expect
TiHo is unique among institutions for higher education in Germany in its possibility
to provide interdisciplinary courses with subjects ranging from Veterinary Sciences
(e.g., what makes an organism a pathogen?) to modern Evolutionary and
Conservation Genetics (evolutionary definition of conservation units), Behavioural
Biology of Primates (e.g., acoustic communication and the origin of language), and
selected topics in Physiology, Cell Biology and Neurobiology.
The University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover is Germany’s oldest independent
establishment of veterinary education with
- research priorities in infectious diseases, neuroscience, clinical research,
animal health and food safety;
- six clinics, 15 institutes, two interdisciplinary departments;
- affiliated institutes and field stations for epidemiology and animal ecology;
- an animal farm for teaching and research and the animal welfare centre;
- the WHO Collaborating Centre ‘Veterinary Public Health’;
- the EU Reference Laboratory for Classical Swine Fever;
- international partnerships and cooperative agreements with more than 30
universities.
