==About the EESlmu Master's program==
The EESlmu Master's program was initiated in 2007 and is designed for German and international students with a
background in biology or a related subject. All courses are offered in English. The EESlmu Master's program
contains many innovative elements such as a mentoring program, integrated skills courses and
individual research training. We also provide feedback to students and encourage revisions of their work, rather than applying a simple grading system.
Thanks to funding from the Volkswagen Foundation, students can apply for money to fund their own research and travel
and to invite international speakers.

==Schematic overview of the Master's program==

Please go to [[Courses Overview]] for detailed information about the Master's program.

==The EESlmu Master's program will prepare you for research and industry==
The EESlmu Master's program will provide you with a broad biological background and will train
you to become a critically thinking scientist. You will gain not only extensive research
experience that will prepare you for a PhD program, but also valuable
technical and communication skills that will prepare you for a job outside of academia.
During the program, you will become familiar with the many techniques and approaches that are 
used in evolution, ecology and systematics research. These include micro-array techniques, 
field experiments, the use of natural history collections, mathematical modeling and modern genetic methods.

==Why come to the LMU?==
At the LMU Munich, you can join an award-winning teaching program at one of Germany's most
prestigious research universities! The LMU was one of the first German universities
to be awarded the [http://www.uni-muenchen.de/forschung/projekte/lmu_excellent/index.html highest excellence status] in a nation-wide competition. 
Among Germany's top universities, it is the only one to offer
evolutionary research at a broad scale. The Bavarian Natural History
Collections and the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology further
contribute to the unique research environment (see [[Institutions and people|contributing institutions and people]]). 
The EES Master's program
was designed to complement excellent research with first-class teaching.
With its student-centered approach, it was awarded the first prize in a
competition for innovative educational concepts by the [http://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/service/presse.html?datum=20060330 Volkswagen Stiftung].

==If you are already at the LMU==
If you are now a biology student at the LMU, you can switch to the Master's program after your 6th semester. 
To do this, you will need to obtain a Bachelor's degree for which you need: your Vordiplom, 
30 SWS for Vorlesungen or Seminars, 30 SWS for Practical courses, and a Bachelor's thesis. The Bachelor's thesis is similar to a Diplomarbeit and takes 12 weeks including the writing of the thesis (20-70 pages). For more information, you can contact the bachelor coordinator of the biology department [[mailto:biokoord@zi.biologie.uni-muenchen.de Michael Bögle]].

==How to apply==
To apply, you must have a Bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree in a natural science discipline,
or show that you can realistically expect to finish your Bachelor’s before starting the
Master’s program. Applications should include a CV, high school diploma (Hochschulreife
or equivalent), Bachelor’s degree, letter of motivation, transcript of records, 
and a proof of proficiency in English (e.g., ToEFL 550 points).
Deadline for applications will be January 31, 2010 (for students who need a visa to study in Germany) and June 30, 2010 (for all others - however, we strongly recommend that you send in your application by the earlier date). The program starts on October 4, 2010. For specifics on the
application and selection procedure see [[Application procedure|Application Procedure]]. If you consider applying,
or if you are not sure whether you meet the criteria, please call or e-mail the program
coordinator.
