Teaching covers human and animal biochemistry, cell biology or genetics, but is also strong in plant and microbial life science. The wide experience of Jacobs Life Sciences faculty, and the courses they offer, allow students to also explore related subjects such as biotechnology, bioinformatics, drug design, and others. With a very strong practical component and excellent lab courses, students gain hands-on experience that they need to apply for high-level graduate school positions. This was spectacularly successful since the start of the programs.

Research in the Life Sciences at Jacobs University concentrates on fundamental questions in the fields of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, immunology and microbiology. Substantial expertise is available in biomedicine of proteolysis, in RNA biochemistry of regulatory and catalytic molecules, on antigen presentation to immune cells, in marine microbiology and plant-microbe interactions. Applied research is strong in the biotechnology of yeast and plant metabolites, the development of reagents for immunotherapy, and structured surfaces, and in quantitative cell biology.

Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of molecules and chemical processes in living organisms, while in Cell Biology students learn about the structure and physiology of cells, their components and interactions with the environment. The two fields are combined in one comprehensive degree program, which provides a broad understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that form the basis of life. BCCB teaches not only the theoretical background of these core areas but also emphasizes the importance of practical research right from the start of the studies.

The MedNat program combines modules in the Natural Sciences and Medicine with intensive German classes. Modules in the Natural sciences are accompanied by three dedicated modules Foundations in Medicine, in which MedNat students get to know essential concepts in Biology/Physiology and Anatomy, Biochemistry, Immunology or Microbiology. The MedNat program has a strong practical component. The program starts with teaching in English while at the time of Graduation, all MedNat Students shall be prepared for continuing their carrer in Germany.

In the first two years the core areas of chemistry are covered, as well as introductions to mathematics, physics and biology. Lectures provide theoretical knowledge, while laboratory modules train the required practical skills. In the 5th semester the students follow either the world track (study abroad or internship) or campus track (lectures, guided research). In the last semester they carry out an independent research project in the laboratory of a faculty member and write a BSc thesis. In the course of the program soft skills are also extensively trained.

The BSc students can participate in research projects already in their first or second year in the laboratory of a Chemistry faculty member, usually under the supervision of a PhD student or postdoc. The possible research fields include many different areas of Chemistry, and reflect the broad spectrum of research interests of the Chemistry faculty. The success of this philosophy is documented by the large number of papers with undergraduates as co-authors (around 5 per year). This undoubtedly helps to be admitted for graduate school at top institutions worldwide.

Organic Chemistry

Chemistry relates to all aspects of our daily lives. The transdisciplinary Bachelor degree in Chemistry offers modules that cover the four main subject areas organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry, but students are also taught relevant aspects of mathematics, physics, and bio-chemistry/technology. Over the course of the three-year study program students take laboratory courses and conduct an independent research project during the last year of study, but they are encouraged to start with research as early as in their first or second year.

The MCCB degree allows facile entry into graduate programs within Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Organic Chemistry. The Medicinal Chemistry content caters to the synthesis of new chemical compounds for therapeutic use, structure-activity relationships, molecular docking simulations, the study of existing drugs and the biological properties of drugs. The Chemical Biology modules detail and integrate the revolutions occurring in molecular biology, with a focus on how to probe the mechanism and function of living systems via chemical concepts, methods, and tools.

Education is characterised by an interactive educational style and small study groups. Education is entirely in English, which simplifies access to literature typically published in English. We offer personal mentoring through academic advisors and various career development services. Education aims at bringing students close to research, there are opportunities to actively participate in research groups. We have regular student international exchanges with, e.g., Carnegie Mellon University. Students benefit from studying in a highly international campus community.

https://www.jacobs-university.de/department/computer-science-electrical-engineering

Research is focused on machine learning, robotics and automation, large-scale information systems, visualisation and computer graphics, computer networks and distributed systems, computer security and data analytics. Research activities are often crossing disciplinary boundaries and they are to a large extend integrated into cooperative national and European research projects. The development of prototypes forms an essential part of research activities. Research results are regularly published in leading international journals and have influenced international standards.

databases and computer systems

The graduate program in Data Engineering offers a fascinating and profound insight into the methods and technologies of this rapidly growing area. The program is laid out more broadly than competing programs, as it combines big data aspects of “Data Analytics” as well as “Data Science” with the technological aspects of data acquisition, curation and management. Thus, the program provides the essentials for paving a successful career: computer skills and mathematical understanding paired with practical experience in selected application fields.

full time

The program rigorously covers computer science fundamentals and it offers opportunities to specialize in various directions, including the option to obtain a minor in a second discipline. The program is characterized by an international student body living on a university campus, an excellent student-to-teacher ratio, performance-related stipends, individual advising and the career development; support by visa and residence permit issues; exchange programs with US universities; early integration into research projects; participation in programming competitions
