About this programme

Discover the fascinating world of plants — from molecular mechanisms to ecosystem dynamics! The Faculty of Biology at Würzburg University welcomes motivated and qualified graduates with a background in biology (BSc or equivalent) to join its two-year Master’s programme in Molecular Plant Sciences. This programme is designed for globally minded young scientists eager to deepen their understanding of how plants evolve, grow, adapt, and interact with their environment. As part of the Julius-von-Sachs-Institute within the JMU Biocenter, you will conduct research and learn from internationally recognised researchers in an environment that fosters curiosity, innovation, and collaboration. Through an inspiring combination of lectures, seminars, and extensive laboratory training – all taught in English – you will acquire advanced, research-oriented training in quantitative molecular plant sciences. You will actively engage in ongoing research projects, often with close one-to-one supervision, gaining real-world experience in cutting-edge scientific practice. The Master’s programme builds on the strengths of highly interactive plant departments at the JvSI and numerous research groups there working at the forefront of plant topics such as Ecophysiology, Physiology, Plant-Microbe Interactions, Signalling Networks, Adaptation and Evolution, Membrane Biology, Structural Biology, and Chemical Biology. This broad spectrum of expertise and the cooperative network within the entire Faculty o
