bio810 - External Research Project

External research projects are done on an individual basis. They are supervised by one person from Oldenburg (see list of examinors, https://uol.de/fk5/studium/studiengaenge/pruefungsberechtigte) and a local supervisor at any university or research institution in Germany and abroad. Please contact Gerhard Zotz (Gerhard.zotz@uol.de) for details. See https://uol.de/ibu/studium-und-lehre/fach-master-biology/downloads-und-links/ (Learning Agreement for External Research Module)
