Justicia y desigualdades: Estudios comparativos culturales (M.A., taught in Spanish)

For the first time, JLU is offering a Spanish-language degree programme. This interdisciplinary cultural studies programme deals with different perspectives on justice and inequalities. This includes examining various political and social options for promoting different facets of justice and critically discussing their political and social feasibility. In addition, the degree programme emphasises the acquisition of skills that are useful both for the formulation of policy-relevant solutions and for constructive criticism. In addition to academic training, the programme focuses on the acquisition of intercultural and practical professional skills as well as various soft skills. Therefore, a compulsory internship is part of the programme.

Sustainable Chemistry (M.Sc., taught in English)

Global and sustainable development requires specialists who have the necessary chemical expertise but are also familiar with the criteria and requirements of sustainability. In this international Master's degree programme, students learn to design chemical processes, products and methods in such a way that they meet the requirements of sustainability. Ecological and social aspects such as resource consumption, energy efficiency, climate protection, health and safety are taken into account in the development and application of chemical products and processes.
