Philipps-Universität Marburg (University of Marburg) Summary
Philipps-Universität Marburg is a public university of research in Marburg, Hesse. Philipps-Universität Marburg was established in the Reformation as a comprehensive public university with faculties of theology, law, economics and social sciences, psychology, humanities, languages, mathematics, computing, natural sciences, pharmacy, medicine and geography. Institutional development: 1527 - Landgrave Philip I founded the university at Marburg. It became the world’s first surviving Protestant university. The academic profile today is characterised by Protestant theology, law, economics, business, political science, sociology, psychology, education, history, philosophy, languages and literature, cultural studies, mathematics, computer science, data science, physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, geography, human medicine, dentistry, neuroscience and infection research. The location is of particular importance, because University buildings are spread all over Marburg's historic center, on the Lahn hillsides, in science locations and in the university hospital environment, creating close links with clinics, research institutes, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, schools, courts and public institutions, and the Central Hesse region as a whole.
This master file contains the course portfolio of 19 undergraduate and 16 postgraduate entries with subject combinations grouped under their parent degrees where appropriate. Undergraduate courses include Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, English Studies and later entries cover Social Sciences, Teacher Education, Theology. Postgraduate study includes Biodiversity and Conservation, Business Administration, Computer Science, Economics and Institutions, International Development Studies, International Political Economy, Psychology, Quantitative Accounting and Finance, Sustainable Development. Every course remains a parent qualification and specialisations are recorded in the course record and not as a separate degree. This row highlights the major parent qualifications and keeps concentrations, subject combinations, teaching tracks and elective pathways within the proper degree, not as separate programs.
Admission is regulated at the program level. Applicants apply through the Marvin portal, uni-assist, Hochschulstart or directly to the department depending on their qualifications, nationality, level and course of study. Limited subjects, medicine, pharmacy, international credentials, master’s academic reviews, and doctoral faculty acceptance have specific requirements and deadlines. Before you submit, please check the language of instruction, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Admission to doctoral studies is separate from admission to a bachelor’s or master’s degree program and generally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the responsible faculty.
Regular degree study does not ordinarily carry a tuition charge. The semester contribution shown in Marvin is what students pay for enrolment or re-registration and includes student-services and transport components. The live fee notice is binding. Continuing-education programs may charge separate tuition. These institutional fees do not cover rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.
Career preparation is a reflection of the subject mix of the university, not a guarantyd placement scheme. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and a thesis developed in cooperation with an external partner can all help to improve professional readiness.
