Academics

The prerequisite for admission is a completed bachelor's or diploma degree from a recognized university in bioengineering or a related course. No minimum grade is required.

Although no maximum number of places (NC) has been set, this does not mean that all applicants will receive a place. In previous studies, certain coursework and examinations must have been completed to a certain extent (LP or credit points), which roughly correspond to those of the bachelor's degree in bioengineering at KIT. To be expected:

• at least 40 CP "Mathematical & Scientific Basics"
• at least 15 CP "Engineering basics"
• at least 20 CP "Thermodynamics & Transport Processes"
• at least 12 CP "Process Engineering Basics"
• at least 20 CP in the subject "Biology and Biotechnology"
• a bachelor’s thesis or an independent scientific work of a comparable scope with at least 12 CP

Language Proficiency

In order to be able to start a German-language course, foreign applicants must prove that they have the appropriate language skills. For the application you need at least B1 level knowledge. All certificates are accepted, but a certificate of participation in the B1 course is also sufficient.

• Graduates of the master's program are qualified for responsible work in industry, technical services and science. If you are suitably qualified and inclined, you can gain further qualifications by doing a doctorate or take up a challenging job in industry.
• The application of biotechnological processes is spreading in different branches of industry, so that graduates have a wide range of professional fields open to them, e.g. in the energy, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, in food production, medical technology and in waste treatment and water treatment. The activities can be found in quality control, project management, production planning, product development, teaching and research.
