Whether new active ingredients, diagnostic methods in medicine or more efficient processes to produce sustainable products for everyday life: During your studies, you will deal with the fundamentals of chemistry and life and learn how to use biological and chemical principles to develop new products, processes or technical applications. These can be novel medicines, biodegradable plastics, environmentally friendly chemicals and much more. In this way, you can contribute to progress in medicine or help to make our future more sustainable.
In experimental lectures, seminars and practical courses in modern chemistry and biology, we provide you with the necessary specialist knowledge and key skills. You will also learn the basics of mathematics, physics, engineering and biotechnology.
You will learn early on how to work independently, practically and in a team using scientific methods. You will spend up to three days a week working side by side with your fellow students in the laboratory. You will analyze chemical and biochemical reactions, prepare substances under supervision and carry out syntheses. This results in compounds or new substances that are also used in industry or in everyday life. Through physical investigations and experiments, you will develop models that will help you to understand the properties of these substances and processes in organisms
In the 6th semester, you will also get to know professional practice during a three-month industrial or research internship. This is another reason why your career prospects after graduation are excellent. Whether in the life sciences, nanotechnology, pharmacy or environmental protection, you are guaranteed to find a job in a research institution, university, public authority or industry where you can apply your knowledge and enthusiasm for biotechnical chemistry.
