Testimonials
I very spontaneously switched to the BIOM programme and never regretted it.
The novel study course and its interdisciplinary approaches gave me the opportunity to deepen my understanding of many interconnected parts of the natural and social world while still being able to focus on my preferred research fields, as well as the possibility to get involved on an organisational level. I believe that the efforts made to involve practitioners in lectures and diverse practical parts make BIOM a very attractive study course that you may tailor to your own specific interests.
The BIOM course broadened my spectrum of learning.
The BIOM course provides a diversity of modules that broadened my spectrum of learning, including practical experiences with visits to biosphere reserves in different countries and expert insights. In addition, the course was well-structured, especially as this was the first batch, and the right environment provided to support students, including learning resources and personnel. I also enjoy diversity of students, backgrounds and experiences, all providing a very open and warm environment in and out of the confines of our academics into wonderful connections in our personal lives.
I am grateful for the chance to learn from my classmates
BIOM students are a mixed group of people (over 12 nationalities and languages) with a wide set of skills and cultural backgrounds. Learning in heterogeneous adult groups is about challenging assumptions about others and exercising curiosity. Our resilience, that is, our capacity to adapt and change, is one of our strengths. During my time in this programme, I realised that the better group we are, the further I advance. I am grateful to this master's programme for giving me the chance to meet my classmates and learn with and from them.
