What you will study

The Master's program in Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering builds on the foundations of the Bachelor's program Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering. Compulsory modules include subjects such as protein engineering, hygienic processing, pharmaceutical technology 2, bioreactors, bioreaction technology and process and plant engineering. In addition to the compulsory subjects, students can earn one third of the credits from numerous electives and thus compile their own profile according to their interests.

Career pathways

After completing the Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering, graduates can work in the biotechnological, chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, in research & development as well as in production, engineering and quality management. Furthermore, functions in plant engineering are possible for these branches of industry.
