- The practical module should take place at a location other than the Institute of Biology. The host group should be based at a different institute of the Faculty of Life Sciences, another university faculty, a different university, or a non-university institution (MPI, Frauenhofer Institute, nature conservation agency, the zoo, etc.). The specific choice must be discussed with the mentor. The practical module can also be part of an internship abroad.
- The duration of the practical module must be at least 6 weeks.
