JLU DIGITAL CAMPUS
Welcome to JLU's Digital Campus - the Landing Page for international students who are interested in a (virtual) course of study at Justus Liebig University Giessen. We invite you to check out our most recent English-language study programme Sustainable Transition, which is JLU's first fully virtual master's degree. No physical presence in Giessen is required, neither do we charge a tuition fee. Students only have to pay a semester contribution (covering administrative fees) of approx. 100€ per semester.
Our Digital Campus will help support your virtual studies by providing you with the relevant information on how to apply, enrol and to study online. Feel free to explore our Digital Campus and become a part of the JLU community. See you soon online!

I am absolutely convinced that we are at the pulse of time with our innovative and interdisciplinary masters' degree program Sustainable Transition.
Transforming today's society towards more sustainability is inevitable for our future. We therefore want to use our knowledge and experience in the research of sustainable agricultural, food and energy systems to educate tomorrow's experts in the field.

I truly like those courses that had been carefully curated by the lecturers: from support videos, to theory-reading, (graded) assignments to calculations homework. It makes it easier to have these assignments, because you are engaged throughout the course and it spikes interaction.
You really are not disconnected or isolated: the digital setting, carefully designed courses and trained teachers allow you to have the exchange, to work as a group and meet people from abroad. This makes a huge difference.

It has been three semesters since I study online due to the pandemic. Thanks to the efforts of professors and lecturers of our faculty, the digital semesters are going smoothly. We have exciting lectures, seminars, group projects that help us to obtain and improve our knowledge. I am very much excited about my studies. During the digital semesters, I found new friends, and I attended many interesting courses that will help me pursue my future career goals.

The recent digital semester was a tremendous advantage, especially in terms of organising study time and pace, selecting a suitable study setting and location, improving self-discipline and time management skills, and upgrading technical know-how via engagement with different digital platforms.
