Type of Financial aid: a restricted number of graduate stipends available

The Jacobs University Bremen is a private English-language research and teaching university located in northern Germany. The novel concept and structure of the university encourage close cooperation across the borders of scientific disciplines both in training of future researchers and in conducting scientific research.

The BioRec Molecular life Science graduate program is focused on biological recognition, one of the most fascinating phenomena of life. Specific recognition events occur at all levels of complexity in biological systems, and their investigation requires a convergence of the disciplines of the life sciences, including, but not limited to, structural biology, biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, and biotechnology.

Admission requirements
Successful applicants should have strong undergraduate records, as well as demonstrated scientific talents. We encourage applications from students in many different undergraduate majors since the challenges of modern life sciences demand interdisciplinary skills. However, most applicants will have completed undergraduate lecture and laboratory courses in mathematics, physics, organic or physical chemistry, and biology or biochemistry.

Application Deadlines are February 1st and May 1st of each year to start studies in Fall.

To apply, please, send a completed application form for graduate study and the supporting documents listed above.

BioRec does not regularly admit students who wish to take a terminal Master's degree. However, when a student experiences a significant change in career orientation after the first three semesters, an M.Sc. degree may be awarded.

Financial Aid
Jacobs University Bremen offers a restricted number of graduate stipends covering tuition and living expenses limited to a period of three to five academic years. Currently, stipends of up to 600 EUR per month are available for up to two years. Stipends in the PhD phase are at least 1000 EUR monthly.
