How to apply
What you need to apply for FOKUS Life Sciences at Julius Maximilian University of Wurzburg (JMU)
If you have not yet finished your BSc at the time of application, you need to provide documents that prove that you have completed 5/6 of your regular study programme (e.g. 150 of 180 ECTS credit points in European study programmes).
no
In order to be admitted, by the time of admission (not application!), you must have finished a BSc study programme of at least three years with an equivalent of 180 credit points according to ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). If you apply from outside Europe, your BSc study programme will, in principle, be considered as equal, but will be evaluated for equivalence in case of doubt. A decisive authority in this process is the federal "Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen". (<http://www.kmk.org/zab>)
Your BSc programme must be in biology or at least have a special emphasis/specialisation/major in some aspect of the life sciences and natural sciences (e.g. biophysics, biotechnology, pharmacology, etc.). Experimental research experience through working in a natural science laboratory is essential. Please note that study programmes that have mostly technical or applied content, such as nursing, laboratory technology, industrial biotechnology, fisheries science, agriculture, and similar programmes, are normally not a sufficient prerequisite to apply. A medical education is also not normally a sufficient prerequisite.
Assessment is in three steps:
1. Screening of documents (upload of scans, sending of originals not required)
2. [Exam](https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/studium/msc-life-sciences/ap...)
3. [Interview](https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/studium/msc-life-sciences/ap...)
