MBT Study Program

MBT Program

The English-taught,  Master's degree program in Biotechnology (MBT) prepares graduates for the growing market of biotechnology with detailed expertise in the field of bioeconomics, particularly food and the environment. 

The program usually takes three semesters to complete. The courses of the winter semester are held in Offenburg, the summer semester at our partner university in Olsztyn/Poland.

In case a student's Bachelor's degree (which is required) comprised less than seven semesters, an additional semester for a scientific project or equivalent courses from a defined course catalogue at Offenburg University has to be included as well.

Each of the partner universities offers a study semester in its respective field of study:

  • Offenburg - Bioprocesses and Bioeconomy
  • Olsztyn - Food and Environmental Biotechnology

 

The Master's thesis can be prepared at either of the participating universities, or externally at a suitable company or institute of your choice.

The degree Master of Science is awarded as a double degree from the two partner universities involved.
