- Description/content
- The MoPS study programme is research-driven and requires knowledge in plant molecular biology as well as extended lab experience. The students acquire fundamental knowledge in many different experimental techniques from molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, and bio-imaging, and can apply these methods to molecular plant research. They are able to formulate and validate scientific hypotheses. They design and perform experiments independently and are able to discuss their results in the current context of plant research and talk about the meaning of their scientific findings for society.
