Biotechnology, Master of Science (Technology)

The Master’s Programme in Chemical, Biochemical and Materials Engineering - Biotechnology offers a first-hand look at one of the most crucial disciplines in supporting the sustainable development goals and leading society's transition toward a carbon-neutral bioeconomy. The programme stands out for its emphasis on real-life applications and problem-solving which makes the studies tangible and concrete for the students. Upon graduating from the Biotechnology major, graduates will have:

Multidisciplinary knowledge in biotechnology.

Graduates understand the fundamentals as well as the engineering and technological aspects of biotechnology. Graduates will have an in-depth knowledge of molecular and cellular level biological phenomena. They’ll be able to, for example, modify and reprogram selected molecules or biological processes for enabling improved product properties or production processes. Graduates will be proficient in designing and executing biotechnological production processes.

Strong hands-on experience. Graduates are able to use essential laboratory methods and techniques along the whole development chain – from strain design and genetic engineering to the development of the production processes.

Analysis and simulation skills. Graduates can carry out quantifications, modelling and analysis on micro and macromolecular levels. Graduates are proficient in interpreting data and are able to apply analytical thinking to identify and eliminate potential sources of errors.

Co-working abilities. Graduates are goal-oriented and systematic, yet responsible professionals who collaborate fluently with experts from different backgrounds.

Communicationskills. Graduates communicate clearly and unambiguously using scientifically justified arguments, both orally and in writing, and can tailor their message to address the target audience.
