20 Master's degrees in Biodiversity & Conservation in Germany

One of the greatest challenges of the future is how to intensify food production with environmentally friendly and sustainable production systems. That is why this broad Environmental Protection and Agricultural Food Production program at University of Hohenheim was developed with many different opportunities for creating an individual profile.

The international Master's in Global Change - Ecosystem Science and Policy is jointly offered by Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU), Faculty of Biology and Chemistry, and University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, School of Biology and Environmental Science.

The primary goal of Biological Resources M.Sc. offered by Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is to enhance your understanding of soil, plant, animal and marine resources and inspire you, as a sustainability specialist, to devise new ways to make use of these resources, thus supporting the development of a bio-based economy. 

Sustainability Science - Ecosystems, Biodiversity And Society programme from Leuphana University of Lüneburg is unique in that it recognises that effective ecosystem management hinges on in-depth understanding of ecosystem processes and how they are interlinked with social-ecological system dynamics.

The objective of the Organismic Biology, Evolutionary Biology and Palaeobiology (OEP Biology) program at University of Bonn is to give students a broad understanding of all aspects of organismic biology. Evolutionary biology and biodiversity research combine various disciplines such as systematics, phylogenesis, palaeobiology, physiology, ecology, molecular biology, ethology and many more.

The Applied Ecology program at the University of Kiel states that environmental protection is certainly the greatest current challenge to mankind as it plays a crucial role in economic and societal development throughout the world.  It is by rising to this challenge that we will be able to generate sustainable development within human societies.

Biodiversity, Evolution, Ecology from Biodiversity, Evolution, Ecology provides students with in-depth subject and methodological knowledge and enables them to pursue research- and practice-related careers in the field of biodiversity and ecological research.

This Environmental Science - Soil, Water and Biodiversity (EnvEuro) programme from University of Hohenheim focuses on the sustainable use and management of natural resources in Europe. 

The Molecular Biosciences degree programme at the Heidelberg University provides students with an opportunity to continue their academic careers in their chosen field of Biosciences.

The Marine Ecosystem and Fisheries Science MSc course from University of Hamburg is set up as a consecutive and research-oriented degree program.

In the Ecology, Evolution and Conservation MSc course at the University of Potsdam you will learn about the state of the art in the various specialized fields of ecology, evolutionary research and scientific nature conservation. The program is research-oriented and concentrates on a broad spectrum of modern research methods, with a supplementary focus on application aspects. 

This international program Agricultural Biosciences at Technical University of Munich focuses on basic biological research for an efficient and sustainable agricultural production of crop and livestock species. It integrates quantitative and computational approaches in a unique, interdisciplinary agricultural study program.

At Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution from University of Greifswald special emphasis is given to methodological and conceptual aspects as a prerequisite for independent scientific work.  

To be admitted to the Molecular Biosciences and Productive Biosystems degree program at TU Dresden, candidates must have completed a first vocational university degree recognized in Germany or a qualification from a state or state-approved vocational academy in a scientific field such as biology, or life sciences or in a closely related degree program such as biochemistry or biophysics. 

This two-year, full-time double-degree Master’s program in Sustainable Land Management and Conservation from Anhalt University of Applied Sciences is offered in cooperation with multiple universities abroad. 

International Nature Conservation from University of Göttingen deals with international problems of nature conservation in the context of conservation biology.

Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution University of Tübingen conducts research applying an interdisciplinary approach to current challenges of societal significance. The University offers a variety of majors and fields of study, combining traditional disciplines with modern and ambitious research fields.

Landscape Ecology and Nature Conservation from University of Greifswald is supplemented by contents from the fields of the humanities and economics, in particular through the integration of landscape economics and environmental ethics. A substantial proportion of elective modules allow for high individuality and flexibility of your study content and study schedules. 

Students of the international, research-oriented Masters's program in Organismal Biology, Biodiversity and Evolution from Humboldt University Berlin study questions of modern Organismal Biology, Biodiversity and Evolution.

The master's degree programme Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health at Goethe University Frankfurt focuses on the teaching and research of biodiversity, ecology, ecotoxicology and evolution of animals, plants and fungi in the context of global change.
