Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

Master of Science (MSc)

Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

The cooperative master's programme "Pharmaceutical Biotechnology" at Ulm University and Biberach University of Applied Sciences teaches how medical and pharmacological findings are translated into highly effective pharmaceutical products. In a cooperative degree programme at both locations, students learn about the interfaces between Chemistry, Biology, Medicine and Biotechnology. The focus is on bioprocess development and the production of therapeutic proteins as well as industrial processes. Graduates have a wide range of career opportunities in the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries.

Study content in a nutshell

On the one hand, the Master's programme focuses on bioprocess development and the production of therapeutic proteins and antibodies. On the other hand, industrial processes are also trained: from planning and implementation to the documentation and evaluation of processes.

Study objective

The aim of the "Pharmaceutical Biotechnology" master's programme is to familiarise students with the latest scientific findings in the development and manufacture of pharmaceutical products. They acquire comprehensive knowledge in bioprocess development, the production of therapeutic proteins and antibodies as well as in the planning and implementation of industrial processes. They also learn to work independently and to deal with the legal and business aspects of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology.

Special features of the (study/degree) programme

The cooperative study/degree programme combines the reinforcements of both higher education institutions and creates optimal conditions for success. Two semesters at Biberach University of Applied Sciences offer practical study content, while the semester at Ulm University focuses on scientific topics. This combination facilitates entry into industry and at the same time opens up paths for a scientific career. The master's thesis, carried out in a company or at one of the two higher education institutions, provides targeted preparation for the transition from studying to working life.

The study/degree programme is administered by Ulm University.

Study abroad

A great way to broaden your horizons in a discipline is to study at a foreign university. Ulm University students can apply for one or two semesters abroad at numerous universities, both throughout Europe as part of the ERASMUS programme and outside Europe. If lectures are not required, internships and theses at other universities are also possible.

Ulm University has exchange agreements with over 100 universities in 26 countries.
