In different research groups guided by internationally renowned scientists students mainly deal with:

• Wood properties,


• Wood modification with different chemicals,


• Biotechnological application of wood-decomposing fungi and their enzymes,


• Biology of wood formation and ecological influences, and


• Gene technology for wood and fungi production.

In addition to their research project the students take part in laboratory courses, soft-skill programs and language courses (German / English). In a seminar they have to give presentations themselves.

So they get – within three years - all the necessary knowledge and experiences to become a successful scientist, able to work in interdisciplinary and international teams.
