Master of Science in Biotechnology (MBT)

About

The English-taught Master's degree programme in Biotechnology (MBT) provides you with the qualification to participate in the development of solutions for crucial issues of our future. Biotechnology is regarded a to be key technology of the 21st century. It represents not only the necessary transition from an oil-based to a bio-based industry and sustainable energy supply but also ground-breaking advances in medicine and food security for a growing global population. The focus of the programme is on bioeconomics, especially in the field of environment and nutrition. It is designed for three semesters of full-time study and awards the title of Master of Science. Students independently work on case studies and familiarise themselves with the field of bioproduction, including important security measures and authority management. The resulting specialists will be fully aware of the future trends and opportunities of the highly innovative biotechnology industry but also recognise potential conflict areas and ethical issues. Additionally, the international orientation of the programme provides students with valuable intercultural skills and other crucial qualifications in the distinctly multinational field of biotechnology. The MBT programme is organised jointly by Offenburg University of Applied Sciences and the University of Warmia and Mazury (UWM) in Olsztyn, Poland. It is the only internationally cooperative Master's programme in biotechnology in the state of Baden-WÃ¼rttemberg and offers the opportunity to earn a double degree from the two partner universities. The UWM in Poland is a traditional university with a strong focus on research. Offenburg is a smaller-sized institution, and students here benefit from more personal attention from instructors and staff as well as comprehensive support services and close cooperation with the local industry and other business partnerships. www.hs-offenburg.de/mbt
