Overview

Thanks to the interdisciplinary knowledge provided by the Chemical Biotechnology master's program at Technical University of Munich, students are able to initiate research projects, plan independently and, depending on the field of activity, develop new biobased products/active substances or new processes for the production of these biobased products or new processes for the recycling of waste products.One is also prepared to transfer processes developed in the laboratory to large-scale production.Students can work successfully in a research group, critically question and communicate their research results and deal early with the different perspectives and interests on the topic of sustainability and how these are to be taken into account in the biotechnological development of products. After all, by taking interdisciplinary elective modules, one acquires non-technical qualifications and is thus sensitised to the non-technical requirements of a professional activity.

Program Learning Outcomes

After graduating, students are qualified for a doctorate in a field of biotechnological research. The path to biotechnological industry is also open. The biotechnology sector is constantly growing in terms of total turnover, the number of companies as well as the number of employees. The declared political consensus to support a progressive structural change towards a bio-based economy is expected to lead to further growth in this sector.
