Master’s Opportunities in Biology in Germany

Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH offers a master’s thesis at the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Jülich System Analysis (ICE-2), in collaboration with TH Köln. The project examines how industrial biotechnologies could contribute to more sustainable and bio-based production routes in the chemical industry. The thesis will investigate economic evaluation methods for industrial biotechnology production processes. The work includes identifying suitable methods, defining their objectives and f...

Max Planck School Matter to Life in Germany is offering a fully funded, integrated five-year MSc/PhD programme for students interested in chemistry and interdisciplinary molecular sciences. The two-year Master’s phase takes place at Heidelberg University or the University of Göttingen and covers chemistry, molecular systems, synthetic chemistry, biophysics, biomaterials, synthetic biology, complex systems, and the chemistry of living systems. Students then progress to a three-year PhD research p...
