Lecture series: Perspectives
Studying biology and then what? Have you ever thought about what you could do after your Bachelor's (or Master's) degree? What career opportunities do you have, which Master programmes does the faculty offer and what would it be like to do a doctorate?
In our lecture series with four different focal points, we will shed light on these and even more questions about careers in biology.
Upcoming events
Perspectives Career opportunities: Monday, 17th November 2025 (online)
Perspectives Master: Monday, 15 December 2025, 2 pm - 4 pm (online)
Detailed schedules can be found under the respective focal points.

Whether before starting their studies or towards the end of their studies: sooner or later, all students in the field of biology ask themselves what career opportunities they have with their studies. Because in biology there is no such thing as "the" classic job - so much is possible that it is hard to keep track of the range. The invited biologists give insights into their fields of activity.
