project and supervisor(s) need to be approved by the exam board prior to the start of lab work

Hinweise:

all members of the regular IBU Biology faculty at the University of Oldenburg can act as local supervisor, students should contact appropriate supervisors individually

prior to project start, external and local supervisors must fill the learning agreement form

the supervisor at the host institution is invited to submit a short written statement of assessment,
final grading is done by the local supervisor

internship report

Students will learn to plan, perform and analyse a study in a biological field. Topics will be chosen in close coordination with teaching staff. Depending on the particular project, knowledge in statistics, molecular biology, physiology, modelling, or ethology will be necessary. Results will be related to the current biological literature in a written report and be presented in the seminar of the hosting working group.
