MA/MS in Bioengineering

Bioengineering is a two-year master's programme taught in English at the University of Tartu, worth 120 ECTS credits and offered as regular full-time study in Tartu. The programme admits 15 students. It combines synthetic biology and applied biotechnology with engineering and IT. The programme page describes Northern Europe as a quickly growing centre for industrial biotechnology, and the studies are designed to give hands-on experience with the central industrial bioprocesses, including fermentation, biosystem design, industrial biotechnology and biomedical technology. A summer course on synthetic biology and its applications is also linked from the page. Citizens of countries outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland pay an annual tuition fee, whereas EU, EEA and Swiss citizens and permanent residents study without paying tuition. Applications open in January and close in March, results follow at the end of April, and the academic year begins on 31 August.
