Our Master program (M.Sc.) is intended for applicants who have successfully completed a first academic degree in a biological science. This could be a Bachelor's degree (B.Sc.) or equivalent in biotechnology or a similar discipline.
Applicants are not required to provide proof of German language skills, as the M.Sc. program is taught entirely in English.
Please contact Prof. Dr. Petra Kioschis (Dean of Graduate Studies for MSc Biotechnology) or Stephanie Schwarzelbach (Secretary at the Faculty of Biotechnology).
For queries concerning the level of English required for admission, contact Richard Baker.
As an international student, you need a visa and proof of sufficient funds. The visa process can take several months, so we recommend applying for a visa in good time. You can usually make an appointment to apply for a visa before you receive your admission letter. But you will definitely need your admission letter at the appointment. Learn about the specific documents required for your visa application, the required level of financial proof, and the available funding options for your studies in Germany.
