BIOPHARMACEUTICAL DRUG MANUFACTURING – DUALBiopharmaceutical Drug Manufacturing

Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

About the Program

The study programme "Biopharmaceutical Drug Manufacturing - dual (B. Eng.)" offers an exceptional practice-integrating study model. The hallmark of the dual study model is that practical training takes place in a company (e.g. on the basis of an internship or working student contract) in parallel to the study programme. This is facilitated by a cooperation between the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld and industrial partners. The 7-semester Bachelor's programme qualifies students for a career in biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes, where microorganisms or animal cells are used to produce pharmaceutically active substances. The program imparts profound knowledge of scientific and technical fundamentals and biopharmaceutical technology. Students learn the complete biopharmaceutical process chain from biological production of pharmaceutically active substances, through separation from other substances, to production of suitable dosage forms. The program has three pillars: scientific-technical foundations, biopharmaceutical manufacturing process knowledge, and legal requirements (Good Manufacturing Practice - GMP).
