Professional competences:

After completing this module, students know the biology of insects and the outstanding ecological importance of this class of animals. They can apply their knowledge directly on plant protection. The acquired knowledge is a basis for ecological studies in all climate zones and for application-oriented basic research in the field of agricultural sciences and biology. Students are able to integrate aspects of entomology in a problem-oriented way in interdisciplinary questions.

Key competences:

Students are able to evaluate scientifically relevant information sources, thereby learning and practicing critical and analytical thinking. They are further able to recognize, describe and present relevant facts regarding applied entomology. While following up on lectures and preparing for the exam, students practice self-reliance and time management.
