Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering

About

Like the Bachelor's program, the Master's program in Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering combines engineering and natural sciences. On the one hand, the topics of plant engineering, process engineering and process control are dealt with in depth. At the same time, the focus is on molecular biology, bioprocesses and pharmaceutical technology.

Specialization topics of this program are production and fermentation processes, reactor technology, process development and optimization, bioprocess engineering, protein chemistry and analysis, hygiene, quality management and legal requirements for the production of pharmaceuticals.

For a comprehensive description of the program, please refer to the degree program documentation:

The Master's program Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering deals with the scientific and engineering aspects of innovative biotechnological and pharmaceutical production.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

In terms of applying to TUM, international refers to the country where you have completed your secondary school or your undergraduate studies. It does not refer to your country of origin or the place you live.

when applying to a bachelor's degree program: You have completed your secondary school education outside of Germany with something other than a German Abitur.when applying to a master's degree program: You have completed your undergraduate studes (i.e. your bachelor's) outside of the EU, EEA or Switzerland.

To qualify for a master's degree program, you need a first academic degree, e.g. a bachelor's. The exact requirements for every degree program are stated in the Academic and Examination Regulations.

Regardless of the program you are interested in, you need an undergraduate degree which is at least equal to a German bachelor's degree with a duration of 3 years (6 semester) to be eligible to apply for a master's program.

You can look up your degree in the anabin database (available in German only) to get a first orientation whether you are generally qualified for a master's degree program in Germany.

English Program Requirements

All degree programs at TUM Informatics require proof of proficiency in German, English, or both.

Check TUM’s central admissions website for information on accepted language proficiency certificates here.

Please remember that you often will need to sign up for language tests several months in advance.

Should you have no knowledge in German at all, you should plan to devote approximately 9 to 12 months to intensive courses in order to reach the required level. You must be able to prove proficiency in the relevant language for your program in order to be admitted.

For Master's applications at the department of Informatics: if the language of instruction of your Bachelor's degree was English (100%), this can be accepted as English language proof for the Master's application.
A Bachelor's thesis written in English can also be accepted as English proof. In this case a document from your university (
