Institute of Plant Sciences
Description: The Institute of Plant Sciences of the University of Bern (IPS), Switzerland, is a teaching and research institute, consisting of five independent research sections. The education of a plant scientists at the IPS takes four years, including a diploma work (Master's thesis) of one year, a PhD thesis lasts three years. Our aim is the education of plant scientists who are able to work independently as scientists in research or administration, who have a broad knowledge about general botany, who understand important processes in plants and who master the most important methods in plant ecology, statistics, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. In addition we stress the ability to co-operate, to give good seminars and to take responsibility.
