About this programme

Biotechnology has produced a new and leading technology that is helping to determine the direction of global economic development and international competitiveness. Since the early 1990s, there has been rapid progress in the biotechnology sector, driven mainly by the results of genomic research and, more recently, by rapid developments in cell biology (cell factories) and technological advances . Growth in these areas is expected to continue to accelerate. For the good of our future, the energies resulting from the explosion of knowledge taking place in these fundamental domains must be harnessed to the development of technologies that will benefit society as a whole. Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) offers an international Master's degree programme in Agrobiotechnology in order to meet the growing worldwide importance of biotechnology , not least in university education, for plant and animal production as well as for nutritional sciences. JLU was the first German university to take up the global challenge of establishing an internationally oriented course of studies that provides the highest level of academic training for entry into the biotechnology and agricultural sectors of the global economy. The overall goal of the Master’s programme in Agrobiotechnology at JLU is to prepare scientists in both the traditional “pure” disciplines and in the fields of agriculture and nutrition for leadership roles at the forefront of the agriculture and food sector.
