The faculty 08 offers four successfully accredited or re-accredited master courses in biology, chemistry, food chemistry and materials science which build on the corresponding bachelor courses of study. The four-term „Master of Science" (M.Sc.) degree qualifies graduates for PhD studies provided they meet the relevant requirements.
In addition, as of WS 2012/13 two newly accredited master courses are offered: an interdisciplinary M.Sc. in bioinformatics/systems biology in collaboration with the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) and an international double-degree in global change: Ecosystem Science and Policy in collaboration with the University College Dublin (UCD).
Outstanding students can take advantage of the so-called PreProChem program as a „fast track“ to PhD studies.
Once a year the Justus Liebig University holds a Master & Career Day to present the JLU study programmes, including the master courses of study offered by the biology and chemistry faculties. Information on the range of study courses offered is also available to external students.
