Three new Master programmes at JLU
Here you will find a brief overview of the three new Master's degree programmes at JLU.
With a view to future challenges posed by climate change, e.g. in agriculture, and the question of how to improve the performance of solar cells and electric cars, for example, three new Master's degree programmes will be launched at JLU in the winter semester 2025/26:
Geosystems in Transition (M.Sc.)
In terms of methodology, the degree programme focuses on research-based learning: students collect their own empirical data in the field and in the laboratory, test hypotheses and answer research questions. With this problem-centred learning approach, students test scientific methods in a real-life problem environment and apply them in a solution-oriented manner. The application of geoinformation systems and the handling of geodata are a particular focus. This prepares students to recognise local dynamics of climate and environmental change and, as future decision-makers, to develop solutions that do justice to the complexity of our environment.

Agrobioinformatics (M.Sc., in English)
The new international degree programme prepares students for practical work, offers them an interdisciplinary education and provides them with the necessary knowledge in the fields of bioinformatics, agricultural sciences, genetics, data analysis and software development.
Modern agriculture is more dependent than ever on innovative solutions - in a world characterised by the consequences of climate change, global food insecurity and a growing world population. In addition, the increasing digitalisation of agriculture and the need to process large amounts of data efficiently pose major challenges.

Advanced Materials (M.Sc., available in English) - formerly Materials Science
In the Master's degree programme in Advanced Materials (M.Sc.) at Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU), chemistry and physics meet creativity and a spirit of discovery. The Master's degree programme, previously known as ‘Materials Science’, will start with a new profile in the winter semester 2025/26. The enhanced degree programme provides in-depth knowledge of materials science with a focus on modern functional materials and their application in technology and industry. New modules and an interdisciplinary approach prepare students specifically for research and development tasks in an international environment.
