The Master's program "Geobiology and Paleobiology" (MGAP) is a consecutive, research-focussed, four-term master program at the Faculty of Geosciences, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, in collaboration with researchers of the Bavarian State collections under the umbrella of the GeoBio-CenterLMU. MGAP aims to provide students with a comprehensive introduction into the interdisciplinary research fields of geo- and paleobiology to prepare them for careers in science and beyond. The MGAP program is based on interdisciplinary, research-oriented courses in geo- and biosciences that address patterns and processes of the evolution of life and its habitats on our planet. Principal topics are evolutionary and environmental geobiology and paleobiology, supported by courses in complementary areas e.g., bioinformatics, statistics, sedimentology.

Principal topics are evolutionary and environmental geobiology and paleobiology, supported by courses in complementary areas e.g., bioinformatics, statistics, sedimentology.
For the admission to the Master Program in Geobiology and Paleobiology (MGAP), all applicants have to demonstrate: Fundamental knowledge in Geobiology, Paleobiology or related fields such as Geology and Biology; A B.Sc. degree in Geology, Biology, Physical Geography or a related subject completed before the start of the master program and (in case of international students) recognized by the LMU as equivalent to a German Bachelor's degree; English language skills in writing and speaking - suitable for communicating scientific topics and problems; AND Basic German language skills.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
You can add a master's degree to your first undergraduate degree (e.g. bachelor's degree or State Examination) if you want to expand or specialize your knowledge. An increasing number are now in English — from American History to Physics. A master's degree program at LMU usually takes two years and is made up of 120 ECTS points.
In addition to an undergraduate degree, further qualification requirements may be necessary, which are detailed in the examination regulations for each master's degree. There are consecutive master's degree programs that build on knowledge from undergraduate studies in the same subject. In other master's degree programs, the requirements can be met with different academic degrees, because they require certain fundamentals that are not restricted to a single subject area. Weiterbildende Master (career-integrated master's degree programs) also require relevant professional experience. Students in these programs are usually required to pay additional tuition fees.
