Course content and objectives
The master’s program in Biotechnology conveys extensive knowledge and skills related to researching, developing, and modelling biotechnological and genetic engineering processes. The program builds on knowledge gained in the bachelor’s program to deepen mathematical, natural scientific, and technical aspects. Students expand their knowledge of scientific analysis of biotechnological and genetic engineering processes and are able to model and describe these processes. As is typical at Anhalt University, practical application is in the focus: Students work on three projects derived from research topics. They thereby explore the entire spectrum of methods for complex research projects.
The master’s degree in Biotechnology enables students to carry out far-reaching microbiological and genetic engineering work. Graduates have expertise in researching biotechnological processes and developing corresponding procedures. They can conceptualize and operate the equipment necessary for doing so. With this knowledge and these skills, they have excellent chances for finding employment in challenging fields of research and work. This could include scientific institutes but also research institutions or businesses in the industries of biotechnology, pharmaceutical technology, or in the agricultural or food industries. Students who want to go into even more scientific depth can work on a doctorate after completing the master’s degree.
Requirements
Admission requirement is a qualified university degree in Biotechnology or comparable degree programs.
Applicants whose Bachelor's degree program comprises 210 ETCS must acquire 90 ECTS in the course of their Master's degree program (according to SPO MBT).
Applicants whose Bachelor's degree program comprises 180 ECTS must have successfully completed 30 ECTS adaptation modules in addition to the modules according to the current SPO by the time of the Master's thesis colloquium. These adaptation modules are determined individually by the academic advisor.
