(bioteCHnoloGy)
biotechnology is one of today’s most
modern and innovative disciplines. In
biotechnology, classical biology and technology
are united. Biological principles
and mechanisms are applied and implemented
using an engineering approach
in order to create new products. Biotechnology
is well-established in many areas,
ranging from life-saving insulin for diabetics
to so called “functional food”.
The curriculum covers all areas of
modern biotechnology. Microbiology,
gene technology, plant biotechnology,
environmental biotechnology, cell culture
technology and biochemical engineering,
are just a few core disciplines you can
engage in theoretically as well as practically
using our extensive laboratories.
In addition to the basic framework of
natural scientific technology which serves
as an essential basis, the diversity of
this programme of study offers students
competence in additional areas of
biotechnology. Proficiency in these areas
is the sine qua non for success.
Rapid progress in the area of molecular
and cell biology over the past 20
years has opened up more and more
innovative and exciting industrial applications
and created new jobs. Graduates
of the Biotechnology Degree Programme
find work in an occupational area comprising
life sciences in the broadest sense,
including biotechnology and microbiology
companies, and the chemical, cosmetics,
pharmaceutical and food industries.
Operational areas also include agricultural
bACHelorS deGree ProGrAmmeS
technology, research facilities, universities
and universities of applied sciences,
public authorities dealing with food
control, environmental agencies, and
waste control and recycling. Your field
of activity encompasses the implementation
of scientific and research findings
in production, development, technical
distribution, in manufacturing, as well as
monitoring and validation of production
processes.
Graduates of the Biotechnology Bachelors
Degree Programme also have the
opportunity to begin a masters degree
programme.
