Foreword
Dear prospective student
You are interested in a graduate degree program? We would like to welcome you at the University of Applied Sciences
Jena.
Many of you choose graduate degree programs that broaden the knowledge obtained in a Bachelor's degree, or a specialization in a
related field. These graduate degree programs are consecutive (lat. consequi) and follow directly after a Bachelor's degree.
However, a graduate degree can also be a crucial step into a different professional field. In this case, many different combinations are
possible, i.e. a diploma degree holder in biology can commence a graduate degree in optometry/vision science.
Those who would like to establish themselves in research require a graduate degree in order to do so. Currently, the University
of Applied Sciences Jena offers 2 Master’s degree programs in engineering, economics, social and health sciences.
Well educated academics and practitioners are in high demand in our society. Therefore the University of Applied Sciences Jena
attaches great importance to an academic education with a close practical orientation.
Our graduate students are actively involved in research and development projects that allow them to gain outstanding professional
orientation. Furthermore, a graduate degree qualifies its holders to pursue a doctorate degree and enables them to start a career in
a higher civil service.
A closed campus with well over 100 modern laboratories, 7 lecture halls, a gymnasium, a library is at students’ and professors’ dispo-
sal. Last but not least: Jena is one of the most attractive student cities in Germany.
I would be more than pleased to welcome you at our university and remain with best wishes for your future.
Prof. Dr.
President of University of Applied Sciences Jena

City of Jena
Even Goethe has fallen for Jena’s charm – in his poem „die Lustigen
von Weimar” he wrote: “Friday (I am) on the way to Jena, because that
is, upon my honor, still the most beloved place!” The city attracted back
then just as it does now free thinking personalities and pioneers who
make up the spirit of this city and are responsible for its unique reputati-
on.
23000 students know why they came to Jena – it offers everything that
the heart desires: superb universities, traditional and modern cultural
background, vibrant night life and possibilities to go out, numerous
sports associations, booming economic, research and science lands-
cape and a lot more.
A personal, intellectual and professional advancement is secured, because Jena is “a stack city of knowledge and science” as
Goethe once wrote in a letter to Friedrich Schiller on 19th of July 1800. If Goethe had still lived today, the quote would probably be:
“Jena is the stack city of knowledge, science and economy.” Exactly this interconnectedness enables Jena to be a powerful and
promising location and a number one high tech center of Thuringia.
Jena is a place to get active. Diving, rowing, canoeing, or just paddling; hiking, climbing or taking a balloon ride, whether on land,
water or in the air, alone or in a team – in Jena, everything is possible!
It doesn’t matter if you are relaxing and admiring plants in a beautiful botanical garden, as Goethe once did, if you are strolling down
the Wagner Street, or rediscovering stars in the famous planetarium – in Jena, you just feel good.
The old student poem puts it in a nutshell:
“And in Jena you live bene
And in Jena you live good.”
Do you want to explore Jena’s diversity and enjoy
culture and nature? Let the charm of this beautiful
city seduce you! Discover the city of light Jena.

Otto Schott was based on an intensive interdisciplinary cooperation that ultimately led to a scientific breakthrough in the area of
production of optical systems and was the foundation of a scientific, technological and economic boom in Jena.
With 24 lecturers, 25 research and staff members, 50 externally funded employees and over one thousand undergraduate and
graduate students, the Department SciTec is the biggest department at the University of Applied Sciences Jena.
Educational Objectives
The educational objective of the Department SciTec is the conveyance of a broad spectrum of competencies in science and techno-
logy through a subject range that offers an outstanding foundation for a successful interdisciplinary work in research and teaching.
Partner Universities
Connections with different universities abroad are numerous, among others with Tokyo University of Science, University of New
