- Description/content
- The interdisciplinary and research-oriented Master's programme in Biotechnology is concerned with the properties, the production processes and the manifold applications of enzymes and microorganisms in the food industry, in its supplying industries and for bioanalytical purposes.
In this programme, you will explore enzymatic production processes. Biochemical methods, including the purification, characterisation and immobilisation of enzymes, enzyme kinetics, gene expression and the mutagenesis of recombinant enzymes, find their application here. Additionally, you will gain a thorough understanding of pathogens and the importance of hygiene in food production, which is essential for utilising microorganisms and enzymes in the life science industry. The combination of innovation and safe processing is at the core of this programme.
