Teaching

Prof. Unterlass teaches several classes at the University of Konstanz (UKON, Germany) and at the Centre for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (CeMM, Austria). The Unterlass group organizes and teaches two laboratory courses in two different BSc curricula at UKON. Furthermore, we offer practical research work (BSc and MSc theses, research internships, exchange stays) in our labs. Our courses are part of the curricula: BSc Chemistry, BSc Nanoscience, MSc Chemistry, MSc Nanoscience, and MSc Life Sciences. All courses we teach are summarized below (including a link to each course at the UKON teaching platform ILIAS).

We care about communicating our knowledge and practical expertise to the next generation. We gladly cooperate in various aspects of teaching. If you are interested in doing an internship with us, getting access to the teaching materials we have developed, or cooperating on higher education topics, please feel free to contact us.
