About the Program
The Master's program in Medical Biotechnology expands on the foundations of theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired in a Bachelor's degree, adding current technological aspects and interdisciplinary elements. The program aims to provide specific qualifications for work in research areas at the interface between clinical and basic research questions, and for activities in the field of medical research in industry, government agencies, and universities. The program is conducted in collaboration with the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, and the Language Center of the University of Rostock. The English-language Master's program is characterized by a high proportion of practical training, primarily in the context of exercises and laboratory internships on cutting-edge topics, and by pronounced interdisciplinarity. This includes aspects of stem cell research, proteome analytics, biomaterials research, systems biology, and productive process engineering on an industrial scale. The program also includes courses on English technical language, optimization of self-presentation and communication, optimized reading and writing of technical articles, and preparation of applications for legal protection of one's own research and for obtaining third-party funding. Graduates can use their qualification as a prerequisite for a Ph.D. program or dissertation in a science-oriented subject. They are trained for demanding scientific-technical activities in the function of a laboratory manager in laboratories of the biomedical industry.
