The GGL provides an interdisciplinary, concisely structured graduate programme for all Life Science disciplines at the Justus Liebig University (JLU) in the fields of Human, Dental, and Veterinary Medicine; Psychology and Sport Sciences; Biology; Chemistry; and Nutritional, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.
Based on the diverse set of disciplines at JLU, we have built a comprehensive concept for doctoral education in which topic-oriented doctoral projects are embedded into the multidisciplinary research background of the GGL. This concept combines experimental projects leading to a dissertation with a flexible curriculum consisting of scientific training and a doctoral development programme designed to improve your professional skills. In order to promote an international atmosphere, the GGL conducts all communications and events in English.
The GGL is a network of ten interdisciplinary research sections. These sections offer a structured scientific curriculum organised in seminars, guest lectures by renowned scientists, and practical courses. A staff of senior scientists and members of their respective institutes and research labs contributes as dedicated teachers and active researchers to each specific programme. The scientific focus in each section is driven by current topics in Life Sciences: collaborative research projects and graduate training groups are major contributors to the section’s profiles.
You may choose one of the research sections as your scientific home base.
