War is terrible and dreadful, but it need not destroy the future of young students. It has been our experience that even in a desolate personal situation, after having settled into a new environment, every individual needs a purpose, a goal to pursue and a future to believe in.
Since the onset of the war in Ukraine, many Ukrainian universities have been affected or even closed, and several ten thousands young people of different nationalities were forced to interrupt their academic education. Despite their personal circumstances, we firmly believe that these students should not be deprived of their future opportunities, and we are ready to help these students bridge this difficult time by obtaining an adequate academic degree in Germany/Jena. It will help them to shape the future of their home country.
If you have come to Jena as a refugee and feel that these offers may match your situation and concerns please contact us immediately by writing an email to master-asp@uni-jena.de.
At ASP, we are offering the quick, flexible and individual enrolment of students who have come to Jena or to Germany as refugees, into our programs. Particularly, our Master of Science in Photonics (M.Sc. Photonics) is open for students holding a bachelor degree from most of the natural and engineering sciences. The detailed application requirements are explained here.
Moreover, the Friedrich Schiller University will establish a guest student status that will allow maximum flexibility in choosing appropriate courses or doing internships in our labs. The ECTS credits earned for these courses can possibly be transferred to your home university later. It is clear to us that we need to react flexibly in such an extraordinary situation.
