The Master’s program ‘Biology’ is based as a consecutive course of study on the bachelor’s degree programs ‘Biology’ and ‘Molecular Biology’ at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) or equivalent courses at other universities.
Many subject-related questions are connected with a degree program. This page provides all further information on the organization, such as the course sequence, module offerings and detailed module descriptions. In addition, the important forms for your project and bachelor’s thesis registrations are compiled. Do you have further questions and are you looking for individual advising? Are you already familiar with our academic advisory service? You can find your responsible adviser in the service area of this page.
With an M.Sc. in Biology, you will acquire the skills for independent, scientific work with
the modern repertoire of methods of your chosen sub-disciplines, as required for a doctorate and numerous professional fields. Typical employers are NGOs (e.g. Society for Nature Conservation and Ornithology; BUND), pharmaceutical industry, agricultural industry (middle management in each case), publishing houses and public authorities.
Advanced infrastructure for a research-focused life sciences campus: the BioCenters I and II are located close to other important pillars of the natural and life sciences in Mainz, such as the Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB), the Institute of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences, the JGU Department of Chemistry, and the Physics Institutes of Mainz University. Two Max Planck Institutes and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz complete the life sciences campus quarter. Short walking distances between all these institutions support close cooperation between the disciplines.
