Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg: List of all Master programs (2026/27)

Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) traces its roots to 1402, but its modern history really starts with the Counter-Reformation prince-bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn, who re-founded the institution in 1582. The double name honours him and the Bavarian king Maximilian Joseph.  JMU’s Latin motto Veritati (“Devoted to the Truth”) still adorns the seal. Students move between the Gothic and Baroque Old University beside the UNESCO-listed Würzburg Residence and the green Hubland plateau, where a 1960s expansion—and the 39-hectare Campus Nord added in 2011—house state-of-the-art laboratories with views of the Main-valley vineyards.
