Microorganisms are characterized by a high metabolic diversity allowing them to explore a wide variety of habitats. They are used in food production and in biotechnology including the production of pharmaceuticals and value-added chemical substances. As pathogens and commensals, they are of central importance for the health of host organisms including humans and represent the major target of our immune system. Immunology centers on the questions how such pathogens are recognized and how they are eliminated from the organism. The elective major „Microbiology and Immunology“ offers courses and research opportunities in areas such as microbial biochemistry, cell biology, medical microbiology, virology, immunology, food microbiology, microbial ecology, plant pathology, mycology, parasitology. The successful completion of the Master programme in Microbiology and Immunology prepares the student for a professional career in scientific research areas concerned with microorganisms and their impact on other organisms, including humans. It provides a solid scientific background for further academic studies towards a PhD followed by postdoctoral training, but also provides the Master graduates with a scientific profile desired for competitive positions in the fields of biomedicine and biotechnology, as well as in health organizations.
