The Master's Degree in Interdisciplinary Neurosciences is offered in close cooperation with other faculties, particularly the Faculty of Medical Science at Goethe University. However, the Faculty of Biological Sciences is currently in charge of the administrative organisation. Furthermore, the Faculty is also involved in a number of biology-related master's programmes, such as environmental sciences, biophysics, bioinformatics, and biochemistry.


Earning a PhD

The Faculty of Biosciences offers various options for doctoral studies. In addition to a few state positions, doctorates can also be carried out within third-party funded projects (so-called “Drittmittel") or within the framework of structured doctoral programmes.
