MSc in Plant Science

Master's Thesis Projects 2013/14

 

 

Die Universität Basel offeriert an der Philosophisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät ein Masterstudium in Pflanzenwissenschaften. Zentraler Teil dieses Studiengangs ist die Masterarbeit (äquivalent zur bisherigen "Diplomarbeit"). Im Folgenden geben wir Ihnen einen Überblick über die Masterarbeits-Projekte, die Sie derzeit an unserem Institut anpacken können.

The University of Basel offers MSc studies in Plant Science. The central part of this program is a Master's Thesis (equivalent to the former Diploma Thesis, "Diplomarbeit"). Here, we present an overview of Master's Thesis Projects in Plant Science that you can currently tackle at our institute..
