Bachelor
Winter semester 2025/2026
Module “Landschaftsökologie und -management” (4303/5303)
In this module, students learn about macroecological theories and concepts that are relevant to landscape ecology and landscape management and apply them to current debates in nature conservation in cultural landscapes.
Module “Nachhaltige Landwirtschaft – Gestalten und Bewerten” (xxxx/xxxx)
In this module, students develop an understanding of the diverse aspects of sustainable land use. They learn about conflicting goals in relation to sustainable land use and how to assess the sustainability of land use with regard to various protected goods and indicators
Module “Wildbienenbestimmung” (13011)
In this module, students will learn how to recognise and identify bee genera and species with and without the use of an identification key. An overview of common wild bee species is given and species complexes that are particularly difficult to identify are presented
Summer semester 2025
Module “Heimische Arten erkennen und bestimmen” (4301/5301)
In this module, students learn and practise the identification of species using various methods and important order, family, genus and species characteristics.
Module “Kartierung von Lebensräumen und Schutzgütern” (4331/5331)
In this module, students learn how to map biotopes and protected goods using the example of the cultural landscape in our region.

Module “SPHERE – Sustainable Farming and Pollinator Habitat Restoration for Biodiversity and Food Security” (13024)
SPHERE is an innovative Master course that connects international master students from the University of Freiburg and the University of Montpellier within the EU HORIZON RestPoll project to learn how to deal with issues of biodiversity decline and environmental degradation in agricultural landscapes.
Summer semester 2025
Module “Experimentelle Ökologie im Naturschutz” (12106)
During this course, students will acquire knowledge of observational and experimental ecology in theory and practice.
Module “Experimental Ecology” (12505/22205)
During this course students will acquire knowledge of observational and experimental research in theory and practice.
Module “Artenkenntnis und Diversität” (12105)
In this module, we use classical identification keys and specialist literature to deepen our knowledge of the identification of flowering plants and wild bees in order to illustrate how important species knowledge is for the assessment of nature conservation evaluations and for biodiversity research.
