For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
The module is carried out as an independent research project in a working group of the faculty and builds on module 21-SC-13. After completing the module, students will be able to work independently on a manageable research question. They are able to carry out a literature search and draw up a research plan based on this. Students can independently design specific experiments on selected chemical questions relating to concepts of planetary boundaries, biodiversity, ecology and nutrition and use or, if necessary, modify existing equipment in the research groups. Students are able to critically scrutinise their experimental results and draw relevant conclusions from the results. Students also expand their competences in time management and working in a research team.
The module covers relevant experimental methods and evaluation procedures for chemical research questions related to the concept of planetary boundaries, biodiversity, ecology and food. The topics include current research questions from the working groups. The module 21-SC-17 must be conducted in a different working group or at least in a thematically different field than the module 21-SC-13.
