The English-language Master's program in Wood Science will be introduced in winter semester 2019/20. The consecutive, research-oriented course builds on fundamental knowledge of lignocellulose-based bioresources and their possible uses.


It deepens the students' abilities to independently apply wood-specific knowledge, to work independently according to scientific principles while adhering to scientific methods and to responsibly classify their knowledge in social contexts.


The Master's program also teaches students successful development in terms of cooperation, delegation and leadership with sufficient structuring and decision-making skills. This enables graduates to take on managerial tasks in business and research and to further develop themselves and the respective area of ​​responsibility.


The MSc Wood Science course also offers graduates of other related BSc courses the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and specialize in the wood industry.

More programs from the university

Most undergraduate degrees take 3 years. All programs are divided into an introductory phase (first year), an in-depth phase (second year), and an advanced phase (third year). The final phase is dedicated to writing the bachelor’s thesis. A bachelor’s degree qualifies you to pursue certain careers and apply for graduate programs.

Your choice of subject determines the degree awarded: subjects in the humanities generally award a Bachelor of Arts, subjects in the natural sciences award a Bachelor of Science, and our two interdisciplinary law programs offer a Bachelor of Laws. Teacher training programs also award a special bachelor’s degree.

A Bachelor of Arts program is structured as follows:

  • 1 major (50% or 90 achievement points)
  • 1 minor (25% or 45 achievement points)
  • general professional skills (ABK) courses (15% or 27 credit points)
  • elective courses (10% or 18 credit points).


Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws programs is structured as follows:

  • 1 major (75% or more)
  • general professional skills (15% or less)
  • elective courses (10% or less).


Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws degree programs do not contain a minor component.

After completing a bachelor’s degree, graduates can pursue a Master of Arts or a Master of Science straight away, or take a break and enroll at a later date. As a rule, it takes 5 years to complete a bachelor’s followed by a master’s degree. Universität Hamburg offers two different types of master’s degree. Consecutive master’s programs deepen knowledge and skills acquired during a bachelor’s degree and graduates may commence these programs straight after graduation. Professional master’s degree programs are graduate programs that develop existing professional skills in a particular field. Applicants must thus demonstrate at least 1 year of professional experience. The requirements and qualifications are the same for both types of degree.

Master’s programs may have admission restrictions and individual subjects also have different admission requirements. You can find more information about master’s programs in our German-language information sheet on master’s and professional master’s degree programs (Master- und Aufbaustudiengänge) or in the bilingual online guide to degree programs at Universität Hamburg.
