Study Phase (2 years)
During the first two years, students study and research on a full-time MSc program at one of the three Graduate Schools that are offered by the Graduate Training Centre at the University of Tübingen. All courses are held in English and start annually in October.
The first year of each master’s program is dedicated to courses and lectures. The second year comprises two lab rotations/ resp. one essay rotation and one lab rotation and the master thesis project. It is spent entirely in labs doing research and facilitates a smooth transition to following PhD projects.
