About the Program
In the master's program in Bioengineering at KIT, you will deepen and expand the knowledge you acquired in your bachelor's program while also setting your own technical focus areas. The program provides you with theoretical and practical knowledge that will enable you to apply process engineering principles to biomaterial systems. This distinguishes it from natural science programs such as biotechnology or molecular biotechnology, which primarily deal with the utilization of biological principles. At KIT, the main focus is on biotechnological methods and processes that implement the industrial utilization of biological systems. The professional internship in industry or research integrated into the master's program provides you with insights into professional practice in science or as an engineer. The program offers specialization areas including Biopharmaceutical Process Engineering, Health Technology, Industrial Biotechnology, Design of Food Products, Food Process Engineering, Micro-Bioprocess Engineering, New Bio-Production Systems, Conversion of Renewable Resources, and Water Technology.
