Biotechnology

The three- or four-semester international Master's programme in Biotechnology is an intensive, laboratory-based, research-oriented training programme that follows a Bachelor's programme in Biotechnology of seven or six semesters. The Master's programme starts every year in the summer semester (for the programme with a regular duration of three semesters) or winter semester (for the programme with a regular duration of four semesters). The programme will be conducted on the campus in Senftenberg. To provide our students with a broad theoretical background and extensive practical training, lectures and lab courses are offered in the following specialisations: Cell Biology Microbiology Bioanalytics Laboratory Diagnostics A maximum of eight study places will be offered in each specialisation. Prospective students have to choose one specialisation after their admission. Places will be allocated according to this decision if there are enough study places available in a specialisation. In case there are more prospective students for a specialisation than places available, places will be allocated according to the highest ranking in the admission procedure. Our Master's programme is focused on achieving practical competencies, educating autonomous self-confident graduates. To assure individual training at a high standard, special emphasis is put on individual training in small groups. Therefore, the number of participants is limited. All lectures, seminars, and laboratory courses are taught in English. After two or three semesters of intensive training, students complete the programme with a five-month thesis project leading to the Master of Science degree. The thesis project involves experimental work under the supervision of a faculty member of the Master's programme. This work can also be done outside the university, i.e., in research institutes or companies. For more information, please visit: https://www.b-tu.de/en/biotechnology-ms .
