Teaching

The general herbarium and special collections provide a rare opportunity for students to learn about conserved plant diversity from all over the world and to work with the archival plant material. Students learn about plant variation and plant evolution in two Bachelor and Master courses, the 'Botanik Modul' and the 'Plant Evolution Ecology Course'.
