Master of Science in Ocean and Climate Physics. The Institute of Oceanography (IfM) at Universität Hamburg offers an international master's program (MSc) in Physical Oceanography and Climate Physics. This research-oriented four-semester program is directed to students with a B.Sc. degree in Physical Oceanography, Meteorology, Geophysics, Physics, or an equivalent subject and provides profound knowledge of the physics of the ocean and its role in the climate system.

The MA program “Human Geography: Globalisation, Media, and Culture” offers a critical human geographic perspective on an entangled globalized world as well as a thorough engagement with current debates relating to globalization, (digital) media, and culture. In our seminars, we combine theoretical debates and empirical research practice and insights into a range of different research methods, techniques and practical skills e. g. the production of short films, podcasts or blogs. Our institute provides you with an exciting teaching and research environment complemented by international visiting scholars and experts. Within your studies, you have the chance to design and carry out your own empirical research project during an on-site workshop. Studying with us provides you with augmented career opportunities due to a mobility window to study abroad or to do an internship in a professional field of your choice. We are looking forward to highly motivated applicants who want to explore the world through the lenses of Human, Cultural, and Media Geography.

Welcome to the futuristic world of quantum computing, the next great evolutionary leap in computer technology. As one of the first universities in Germany, DIT offers you a Master's degree in Quantum Computing. Building on your knowledge in computer science, physics or engineering, you will learn about the modern technology of quantum computing in this degree programme.

Are you interested in life sciences and their applications in biomedicine? Would you like to study for an English-taught bachelor’s degree in Germany? The Biomedical Sciences (B.Sc.) course covers the fundamentals of molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology and bioanalytics. The six-semester program concludes with the completion of a bachelor’s thesis at a company or research institute.

The Master's degree program 'Mathematics and Computer Science' is unique in Germany as it offers students the opportunity to study this important field with equal weighting given to each discipline.

The Master's degree in "Lightweight Engineering & Composites" is intended for engineers and graduates of mathematics and natural sciences with professional experience, who would like to gain a qualification in the area of composites via the professional development route. The particular focus of the study program is on both carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP, colloquially known as "carbon") and glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP).

The AMASE Master's is an international Master's program in Materials Science and Engineering. You study at two out of four European universities from different countries (Germany, France, Spain, Sweden). You also learn two out of the four available languages (German, French, Spanish, and English).

The HFA doctoral students are given the opportunity to benefit from the wealth of experience and outstanding expertise of their supervisor while building up a research network. It is possible to pursue a Ph.D. in various STEM-related subjects according to your previous academic background, such as engineering, informatics, natural sciences/mathematics, and psychology/medicine. Ph.D. students of the Hector Fellow Academy are employed as research assistants for a period of three years. The salary corresponds to the internal regulations at the University of the respective Hector Fellow.

The Graduate School’s support concept for doctoral students is modelled on the well-established structure developed in the doctoral programme ‘Manuscript Cultures’, which started with the SFB 950 ‘Manuscript Cultures in Asia, Africa and Europe’ in 2011.

The most pressing problems of the 21st century include environmental degradation such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, and air pollution, and increasing resource scarcity urging for a more sustainable use of Earth’s resources. The BSc program Earth Sciences and Sustainable Management of Environmental Resources (ESSMER) is an interdisciplinary science major with a strong focus on phenomena and processes occurring at the Earth’s surface. Our students develop a holistic understanding of the system Earth, anthropogenic interaction with its land, atmosphere, oceans and biosphere, and management of environmental resources, including water, soils, biological and energy resources, and minerals. The ESSMER program is based on a solid foundation in science disciplines and uses key methodological tools and concepts from Earth Sciences and data management combined with the concepts of sustainability and resource management.

Physics has shaped our view of the universe and the world around us by exploring the basic concepts of space, time, and matter. Physics not only lays the foundation for all other natural sciences and many engineering disciplines but is also a fundamental part of modern technology. At the same time, simulations and experiments in many areas of research and especially in physics generate vast amounts of data. To fully use this data and extract meaningful insights, advanced methods of data science including machine learning are essential. These tools have countless further applications in almost all aspects of daily life.

Analytical science is becoming increasingly significant. Fast and precise analytical methods are more important than ever in research, quality control, and production monitoring. It is therefore all the more astonishing that so few study programs in Europe offer this as a major. At Hochschule Fresenius in Idstein, you can study Bioanalytical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis (M.Sc.) full-time or part-time.

By introducing its Master's degree program in Biophysics, Saarland University has taken on a pioneering role in the education and training of qualified scientists in this key interdisciplinary field at the interface of the physical and life sciences.

The Master’s in Life Science Informatics prepares students to tackle the challenges of analysing large-scale NGS data. It equips them with expertise in biomedical research, personalised medicine, and molecular diagnostics through a blend of life sciences and applied computer science, fostering skills for data-driven genetic analysis.

Are you aspiring to pursue a career in biomedical research, aiming to create innovative therapies and diagnostic approaches for human diseases? Do you wish to expand your knowledge of the molecular, cellular, and genetic mechanisms that contribute to various health conditions, particularly in fields like cancer biology, neurobiology, immunology, and molecular genetics? If that sounds like you, then the English-taught master’s program in Biomedicine (M.Sc.) is an excellent fit for your ambitions.
