Allgemeine Informationen

Charakteristik und Ziele

Biotechnology and biotechnology-based methods are increasing in importance in a global bioeconomy. The future of biotechnology promises many advances in drugs (including polypeptides, proteins, viruses, DNA and antibiotics) and drug delivery systems as well in chemicals produced from renewable resources.

The master programme Pharmaceutical and Industrial Biotechnology 120 CP is specifically designed for undergraduates from (bio-)chemistry, biology, biotechnology, biochemical engineering and pharmacy to acquire the necessary knowledge and capabilities to carry out scientific work and critical evaluation of scientific results in a responsible and independent manner. Students will also have the opportunity to learn a range of methodologies and modern laboratory techniques. Successful completion of the programme will result in the award of an internationally recognized degree.

The 2-years master programme offers specialization in the fields “Pharmaceutical Biotechnology” or “Industrial Biotechnology".

The field of specialization „Pharmaceutical Biotechnology“ covers all relevant aspects for the development of new biotechnology based drugs, starting from of drug target identification over up- and downstream processing till formulation. It also provides a basis for understanding the mechanisms and process involved in diseases.

The field of specialization "Industrial Biotechnology" covers all relevant aspects on the development of new industrial biotechnological processes, starting from access to and pretreatment of renewable resources over up- and downstream processing till application and process optimization. Biocatalysis, synthetic and systems biology and metabolic engineering will be covered during the classes.

Zulassungsvoraussetzungen

Applicants for the MSc Pharmaceutical and Industrial Biotechnology 120 CP must

• hold a bachelor's degree (minimum 180 CP) or equivalent degree in (Bio-)Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, (Biochemical) Engineering, Pharmacy, or related fields with a final mark of at least 2.5;

• prove sufficient knowledge of English language (i.e., non-native speakers) by means of an internationally recognized test result such as

  • TOEFL iBT (at least 90/120),TOEFL CBT (235/300), or TOEFL PBT (580 / 677)
  • IELTS (at least band 6.5),

  • UNIcert-II (writing and speaking).

At the beginning of the course, students should have previous knowledge of biochemistry (chemical, physical and molecular biological basics of life processes in organisms, experimental skills), biotechnology (upstream and downstream processing, protein and enzyme technology, experimental skills), or biology (basics of cell and molecular biology, experimental skills). Basic knowledge in the other disciplines as well as in-depth knowledge in mathematics (differential and integral calculus), physics (experimental physics, optics, atomic and molecular physics) and chemistry (general/inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, preparative skills, chemical arithmetic) are additionally required.

For detailed information on admission requirements, please consult the study and examination regulations (in German only). Decisions on compliance with the prerequisites are taken by the study and examination board of the programme.

Zulassungsvoraussetzungen (German version)

Der Studiengang wendet sich vor allem an AbsolventInnen eines universitären Bachelor-Studienprogramms in (Bio-) Chemie, Biologie, Biotechnologie oder (Bio-) Ingenieurwissenschaften; es können auch AbsolventInnen eines vergleichbaren Studienganges bzw. Studienprogramms wie z. B. Pharmazie zugelassen werden.

Voraussetzung für die Zulassung zum Studium des Ein-Fach- Masters Pharmaceutical and Industrial Biotechnology 120 LP ist der Nachweis

• eines qualifizierten Abschlusses (grundsätzlich Note gut, d. h. besser als  2,5) in einem Bachelor-Studienprogramm (Bio-) Chemie, Biotechnologie, oder (Bio-) Ingenieurwissenschaften mit mindestens 180 LP oder eines vergleichbaren Studienganges bzw. Studienprogramms;

• ausreichender Kenntnisse der englischen Sprache mittels eines international anerkannten Sprachtests:
  • TOEFL iBT (mindestens 90/120), TOEFL CBT (235/300), oder TOEFL PBT (580/677)
  • IELTS (mindestens band 6.5)

  • UNIcert II (Schreiben und Sprechen).

Für den Studiengang sollten bei Studienbeginn Vorkenntnisse in Biochemie (chemische, physikalische und molekularbiologische Grundlagen von Lebensvorgängen in Organismen, experimentelle Fähigkeiten), Biotechnologie (Up- und Downstream Processing, Protein- und Enzymtechnologie, experimentelle Fähigkeiten), oder Biologie (Grundlagen der Zell- und Molekularbiologie, experimentelle Fähigkeiten) vorhanden sein. Grundkenntnisse in den jeweils anderen Disziplinen sowie vertiefte Kenntnisse in Mathematik (Differential- und Integralrechnung), Physik (Experimentalphysik, Optik, Atom- und Molekülphysik) und Chemie (allgemeine/ anorganische, organische und physikalische Chemie, präparative Fertigkeiten, chemisches Rechnen) sind zusätzlich erforderlich.
