English and other international degree programmes
Half of our Ph.D. Programmes are fully taught in English as well as an increasing number of Master programmes. Many of the Master programmes offer also a unique opportunity of graduation with a double or a joint degree from leading international Universities.
All programmes benefit from an outstanding research-oriented environment, which is formed by a network including five Max Planck Institutes, the German Primate Center, the German Aerospace Center and the Academy of Science and Humanities: the Göttingen Campus.
