Biotechnology & Process Engineering, Master of Science (M.Sc.)
In the 21st century, the biotechnical and chemical industries are facing new challenges. Biotechnological processes must be integrated into classical chemical process engineering. At the same time, the challenges of the energy and resources turnaround must be overcome. Nanomaterials, ionic fluids, biocomposites, and bioinspired materials are currently opening up new opportunities in materials science; while biopharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and cell-based constructs promise new therapies and thus advances in medicine. This is where the Master's in Biotechnology and Process Engineering comes in.
I can definitely recommend the Master's program in Biotechnology and Process Engineering at the University of Bayreuth. (...) The lecturers and the atmosphere at the Department of Chemical Process Engineering are excellent and after you get some insights into biotechnology in the first semester, almost everything is concentrated on this department later on. The Fischer-Tropsch process is very popular at the CVT department. It's a very interesting field, especially if you look at it in the context of global warming, the energy transition and energy storage.
