Study programmes

We offer more than 15 different study programmes in chemistry, geography, geosciences and biogeosciences. Our study programmes are aimed at both undergraduate and graduate students who have already completed an undergraduate degree:

Our Bachelor programmes will offer you a solid basic education in the full range of the respective discipline. Our Master's programmes allow you to specialize according to your interests. Some of these programmes as well as individual courses in many programmes are taught in English.

We also offer teacher training programmes from which our students graduate as certified secondary-school teachers with a state examination.

Finally, you can pursue your doctorate at our Faculty: You can do it either as an individual research project or within one of the graduate schools and research training groups that our faculty members contribute to.

Familiar atmosphere and with ties to external partners

No matter which study programme you choose: In our Faculty, you will study in a familiar atmosphere and with close contact between students and lecturers. Our programmes are also characterized by numerous practical courses such as laboratory courses and field trips. A special feature in Jena is the strong network of university, non-university research institutions and industry. You can get in touch with our partners early during your studies - for example, you can contribute to research projects as a student assistant or you can write your thesis at one of our partner institutions.
