MSc Biotechnology

Biotechnology is an exciting interdisciplinary field of research, which is seeing rapid growth.The development of new pharmaceuticals, enzymes for washing powder and beer brewing, or dyes and other ingredients used in food production is based on years of research in biotechnology. Through the programme, you will gain fundamental knowledge of biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, and process technology. You will learn to apply this knowledge to biotechnological problems, ranging from basic research issues to the development of new cell factories and the study of their behaviour in bioreactors. You will acquire the relevant competencies for collecting and analysing wide-ranging data, for instance by using statistics, bioinformatics, and mathematical models.
