Semester Notes

• Official registration period for all courses in Campus Management is April 1 - April 30, 2021
  Booking in Campus Management is required for all courses! Some classes consist of more than one course (...1/2, ... a/b/c). For recognition in the corresponding module all courses must be booked.
• Some courses also require an additional registration in Whiteboard.(Guide to Whiteboard System). If you can't find a course in Whiteboard, a registration in Whiteboard is problably not needed. In case of doubt, please ask the lecturer.
• The language of instruction in all master programs can be German or English. However, it has to be English if students without sufficient knowledge of German participate in a course. (There may be exceptions for courses that originate from other programs).
• For more details on the study program, curriculum, study regulations and etc., please have look on the page Profile and Structure.
• If you have any general questions concerning the stucture or organization of the program please contact the course coordinator or the examination office. Please send mail requests always from your official FU account!
• Due to the current situation, no face-to-face session will take place until further notice!

Course Catalog and Schedules

Webex meetings are indicated by a "Virtual Room xx" in the course catalog. The final meeting links will be provided through the lecturer, either on Whiteboard, on Blackboard or by e-mail. Face-to-face-sessions are indicated by actual rooms.

Second Semester

Mandatory:

• Ethics and Policy Questions (5 CP) 19405413

Depending on the chosen focus area, take at least one of the following modules/courses:

• Complex Systems in Bioinformatics (10 LP) 19405201/02/11
• Data Science in the Life Sciences (15 CP) 19405606/12
• Advanced Algorithms for Bioinformatics (10 CP) 19405301/02/11

In addition, optional modules/elective courses can be chosen.

Optional Modules/Elective Courses

Optional modules can be taken in the elective area of your Focus Area (15 CP) and for the Supplementary Area (15 CP). Also, mandatory modules of the other two Focus Areas may be assigned to the Supplementary Area of a Focus Area. According to the study regulations, at least one V-module and one practical module (Praxismodul) must be chosen from the range of optional modules. This refers to the whole study program, the Focus Area is irrelevant.

• List of all optional modules

If you cannot locate a specific course in Campus Management, check the list below to see to which module(s) it is assigned to!

Example: The Course Pathophysiology is assigned to the Module Current Research Topics in Complex Systems.

Students Enrolled Under the Old (2012) Study Regulations

Please follow the rules of the old regulations and observe the transition and recognition rules.

Please note: The courses offered in accordance with the old study regulations are guaranteed up to and including the summer semester 2021. After that, a change to the new study regulations should be made. For the transition, degrees according to the old study regulations will still be admitted up to and including summer semester 2022, so that Master's theses, for example, can still be completed. From winter semester 22/23 on, no more degrees according to the old study regulations are possible!
Of course, credits for the old regulations are still possible for the new study regulations.
