The moduls  in the elective area each require half of a lecture period of a semester and usually consist of a lecture, a seminar and a practical course (total 15 CP).

The moduls are thematically assigned to the areas of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology (Div) and Ecology and Ecosystem Health (Eco). Concerning the studied organisms, the courses deal with animals, plants and fungi or are designed across organisms.

The moduls (15 CP) BEH-Eco- 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8 and BEH-Div 1, 5 and 7 are also offered for the M.Sc. Environmental Sciences. In addition, students of the MSc Environmental Sciences can take only the theoretical parts of the moduls (lecture and seniar, 5 CP). Some practical courses can be used in other study programmes (e.g. MSc Bioinformatics). Please inform yourself about this in the module handbook.

For the optional module, there are the following possibilities:

•  participation in the Frankfurt Spring School on Conservation Project Management (in the lecture period between winter and summer semesters, with own admission procedure, 7 CPs,).
• one or more courses (total 15 CP) that are offered outside the study regulations of the M.Sc. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health in another study programme at a scientific university (51ÁÔÆæ, another German university or a university in another EU country) and are related to the content of our study programme.
• a company internship outside of 51ÁÔÆæ (practical module).

Prior approval is required for the second and third options (see ).

Further information on the courses can be found in the . Individual registration for individual theory modules without the associated practical module (e.g. for environmental scientists) is done directly with the organiser.
