Course description
The Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Master's degree course builds directly on a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology. It aims to deepen students' understanding of pharmaceutical products and processes, aligning with industry demands, particularly in pharmaceutical production and development. Certified by ASIIN in 2015, this program also hones interdisciplinary research and development skills. Our department boasts extensive experience in bioprocess engineering, covering various aspects of upstream and downstream processing. Since its inception in 2009, the course has established a strong reputation within Germany's pharmaceutical industry. It offers a balanced mix of theoretical and specialized modules, allowing students to complete their Master’s thesis in an industrial setting. Most graduates quickly secure attractive positions across Germany and Europe, while some pursue doctoral research in related fields. This program primarily targets biotechnology graduates aiming for careers in the pharmaceutical sector or related industries. If your first degree is in a related subject from a vocational institution or university of applied sciences (Fachhochschule or equivalent), you might be eligible for a customized course program. This would include specific subjects and core competencies from the Master’s course, tailored to your previous specialization, pending approval from your academic advisor and the examinations committee.
