MA/MS in Applied Microbiology

The Applied Microbiology master's programme is full-time and leads to a Master of Biology. It prepares forward-looking specialists with strong applied microbiology knowledge who can do research and test and apply results in production. Teaching uses the biochemistry, microbiology and biotechnology chair and an innovation centre for microbial biotechnologies and biofuels, with modern software and equipment. Internships take place in accredited expert and industrial microbiology laboratories. A double degree agreement with a French university exists for related master's programmes, and a guest lecturer from a German technical university teaches. Its aim of testing and applying results in production gives the course an industrial emphasis, and its international ties offer students opportunities connected with partner institutions abroad. Graduates can work as research staff and microbiologists in biotechnology and related industries, applying laboratory results in production. Study is full-time and spans two years.
