programme
Description/content The three- or four-semester international Master's programme in Biotechnology is an intensive,

laboratory-based, research-oriented training programme that follows a Bachelor's programme in
Biotechnology of seven or six semesters. The Master's programme starts every year in the summer
semester (for the programme with a regular duration of three semesters) or winter semester (for
the programme with a regular duration of four semesters). The programme will be conducted on
the campus in Senftenberg.
To provide our students with a broad theoretical background and extensive practical training,
lectures and lab courses are offered in the following specialisations:
Cell Biology
Microbiology
5
Bioanalytics
Laboratory Diagnostics
A maximum of eight study places will be offered in each specialisation. Prospective students have
to choose one specialisation after their admission. Places will be allocated according to this
decision if there are enough study places available in a specialisation. In case there are more
prospective students for a specialisation than places available, places will be allocated according
to the highest ranking in the admission procedure.
Our Master's programme is focused on achieving practical competencies, educating autonomous

self-confident graduates.
To assure individual training at a high standard, special emphasis is put on individual training in
small groups. Therefore the number of participants is limited. All lectures, seminars, and laboratory
courses are taught in English.
After two or three semesters of intensive training, students complete the programme with an five-
month thesis project leading to the Master of Science degree.
The thesis project involves experimental work under the supervision of a faculty member of the
Master's programme. This work can also be done outside the university, i.e., in research institutes
or companies.

Cottbus-Senftenberg
© BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg
Located on three campuses and with about 60study programmes, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg offers a broad spectrum of market-oriented
programmes as well as traditional degree programmes.
From the natural sciences and engineering to economics, cultural studies, and even health sciences, BTU offers a wide range of courses.
Our 14 study programmes taught exclusively in English are very popular among both German and international students from all over the
world.
BTU is partnered with over 150 universities throughout the world, which provides students with a multitude of excellent opportunities to
spend part of their time studying or conducting research abroad. Furthermore, in cooperation with ourinternational partner universities,
BTU offers a wide range of double-degree and joint-degree programmes.
University location
Cottbus is located in the north-east of Germany, between the country’s capital, Berlin (100 km), and Dresden (120 km). With a population
of approx. 100,000 inhabitants, Cottbus is the second largest city after Potsdam in the federal state of Brandenburg. The Polish border
is only approx. 30 km away. The location of Cottbus offers a convenient starting point for trips into the picturesque region of Lower Lusatia.
The landscape of Lower Lusatia is characterised by the Spreewald with its small canals and waterways as well as by the Slavonic minority
called Sorbs or Wends. Their language, similar to Polish, is still used and spoken in Lower Lusatia. For this reason, many of the road signs
and informational boards in Cottbus and the surrounding region are written in both Sorbian and German. Cottbus gained importance as
a trade centre in the 12th century. Parts of the original city wall from the 14th century as well as the beautiful townhouses around the old
market square are proof of the city’s early splendour. Additionally, the city is characterised by buildings from the "Wilhelminian" times of
rapid industrial growth in Germany, which occurred towards the end of the 19th century. The city that first rose to prominence with its cloth
and linen weaving industry soon evolved into a growing centre of brown coal mining.
Senftenberg is the centre of the Lusatia Lake District. Former excavation and mining pits have been flooded in order to create the largest
artificial lake system in Europe, with a total of 23 large lakes. The water sports area "Senftenberger See", with its water surface of 1,300
hectares, offers exceptional sailing and surfing opportunities, and it is suitable for all kinds of water sports. Senftenberg has thus become a
tourist attraction within the region.

PhD programme

programme
Description/content The interdisciplinary and research-oriented Master's programme in Food 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.
Microorganisms are especially good producers of enzymes and can be cultivated in bioreactors
under controlled, safe and standardised conditions.
In this programme, students 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. A thorough
understanding of pathogens and the importance of hygiene in food production 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.
12
Course Details
Course organisation During the first semester, you will acquire fundamental knowledge of the identification and
recovery of enzymes and microorganisms in the life sciences and its connected industries. This
includes a comprehensive introduction to food microbiology, enzyme analysis, and their
corresponding methodologies and research strategies.
From the second semester onwards, you will freely plan your studies according to your individual
interests and preferred areas of specialisation. While your approach to the programme may thus
differ, you will, in all cases, increasingly conduct independent research from the second semester
onwards.
During your studies, you may focus on Enzyme Biotechnology. If you choose this focus, you will deal
with enzymatic production processes and their utilisation in the industrial sector. You will acquire
expertise in biochemical methods, including the purification, characterisation and immobilisation
of enzymes, enzyme kinetics and gene expression. You will focus on the development and analysis
of the effectiveness of biofunctional and technofunctional components, such as enzymes,
antioxidants, pro- and prebiotics, dyes and bioactive peptides.
Alternatively, you may focus on Food Microbiology. This demands 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. You will emphasise controlling the
reproduction of microorganisms – from starter cultures to bioreactors – and you will determine
their genetic functions by regulating gene expression to produce specific proteins.
A research-intensive Master's thesis at a department of your choice is preceded by the completion

of a research project at the same department, introducing you to the research group and their
current projects. Your Master's thesis will then be integrated into ongoing research at the Institute
of Food Science and Biotechnology, and it will allow you to demonstrate your ability to conduct
independent scientific work.
Integrated internships Students have the opportunity to complete an internship lasting a minimum of six weeks, in the
context of an elective module. This internship may be integrated flexibly into the course of studies.

Costs of living Baden-Württemberg has the highest standard of living in all of Germany. The downside is that living
costs are slightly above the German average. However, the cost of living can vary enormously
depending on your personal lifestyle and where you live. It is generally more expensive to live in a
bigger city like Stuttgart, where the University of Hohenheim is located. As a rule of thumb, 800 to
900 EUR per month should be enough. The largest monthly expense is usually for rent – accounting
for a third of the total cost of living for most students. These costs can be cut substantially by
sharing a flat or living in a dorm. A typical example for monthly expenses could look like this:
Rent: 350 to 400 EUR

Health insurance: approx. 85 EUR
Semester travel card: approx. 200 EUR
Study materials: 100 EUR
Food and drink: 100 to 150 EUR

Accommodation Student residences on campus
At the University of Hohenheim, several student residence halls are located on campus. They are
managed by Student Services Tübingen-Hohenheim. There is a high demand for these rooms,
which is why usually only a small number of applications will be successful.
First year on campus
International (non-EU) students have a much more difficult time than Germans in finding private
accommodation at the start of their studies, searching from their home countries. Therefore, the
university provides a quota of rooms for international students. This enables almost all new
international students to have a room in a residence hall. To be able to offer this special
assistance at the start of studies, the rental duration for these rooms is limited to two years for
Master's students.
After this period, the house-hunting assistance offers support in finding a room on the private
market.
University of Hohenheim
© University of Hohenheim
The oldest university in Stuttgart, the University of Hohenheim, is unique in its strong specialisation.
Founded in 1818 after devastating famines, the University of Hohenheim is not only engaged in intensive basic research but has
15
traditionally also been committed to developing innovative solutions for some of society's pressing problems. To do so, the University of
Hohenheim engages in a combination of scientific disciplines that is unique among German universities.
Strong in research and exceptionally well-connected
Today, the University of Hohenheim is the leading university in agricultural research and food sciences as well as strong and unparalleled
in natural, social, business, economic, and communication sciences. The combination makes it possible to find solutions for many global
challenges. This is why the university puts great importance on maintaining an international network with numerous strong partners.
Award-winning range of degree programmes
The degree programmes at the University of Hohenheim are innovative and adventuresome. The “Mobile Teaching” and “Humboldt
Reloaded” pilot projects, promoting research-oriented studies, have been given the Ars Legendi Prize for excellence in teaching and other
awards.
Specialisation Bioeconomy
Bioeconomy is a joint specialisation of research and teaching in all subjects. This specialisation addresses the economics of the future, with
new products and new production processes, involving raw material from plants, animals, or microorganisms.
The green campus of short distances
The "green campus" of the University of Hohenheim isa concept that pertains not only to the content of its innovative programmes but
also to the lush green environment on its campus. The green campus, with its short distances all around the Hohenheim Palace, is known
as the most beautiful campus in the state. The university members value its personal atmosphere as well as the way that the campus
facilitates a close proximity to colleagues.
University location
The University of Hohenheim is located in Stuttgart, the capital of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg. Why is Baden-Württemberg
such a popular place to live and work? Probably because it has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the entire country. Where there's
a strong economy, there is also a strong education system.
If you ask someone abroad "What is Stuttgart famous for?", the answer is invariably, "Porsche, Mercedes and Bosch!" All these premium
global players and many more have production sites in Stuttgart or in the region. As a result, they contribute to Baden-Württemberg's
excellent reputation as one of the economic powerhouses of Europe.
Within Germany, Baden-Württemberg is at the forefront of the country's energy policy turnaround. The development and expansion of a
sustainable energy economy is a top priority in the south-west.
What should we be famous for?
Many things that make Stuttgart and the region special are not known abroad. Because you will stay here for a semester or two, you
should know more about it:
The Swabians are proud of the Swabian cuisine: Maultaschen (filled pasta), Spätzle (egg noodles) and Schnitzel. You will
definitively love the Swabian specialities, including the famous German beer and the wines of Württemberg.
Stuttgart is also famous for the "Cannstatter Wasen". This is the second biggest beer festival in Germany after Oktoberfest. It
attracts more than four million visitors every year. The first Wasen was celebrated in honour of the foundation of the University of
Hohenheim 200 years ago!
Or maybe the region should be famous for the fact that the sun shines more often and for more hours here in the south-west than
anywhere else in Germany. Additionally, the low crime rate means that Baden-Württemberg is one of the safest German federal
states. As you might expect, it thus tops the scale of life expectancy and quality of life.
We are proud of the diversity in our city! People from all over the world are living in Stuttgart. Stuttgart is an example for
combining cosmopolitanism and successful integration. No other city in Germany has a higher proportion of international citizens.
We are convinced that it is this diversity that makes us strong!

Description/content Modern food processing is concerned with the transformation of plant-based and animal-based
raw materials into value-added, safe and stable food or nutrient formulas. The Master's programme
in Food Science and Engineering is research-oriented and focuses on the interface between
complex food matrices and technical processes in the development and production of food.
In this programme, students acquire expertise regarding the equipment and processes involved in
the processing of food, combined with a thorough understanding of the biogenesis of raw materials
and their microbiological ecology. They learn to develop appropriate food formulas and processing
techniques that allow for product-specific processing conditions in automated production
processes using in-line sensor technology. The core of the programme consists of the development
of new technologies for the production of food products that meet both consumer expectations
and individual nutritional requirements, i.e. the transfer of basic research concepts into new
technological approaches.
18
Course Details
Course organisation The programme in Food Science and Engineering has a modular structure with each module
encompassing at least one, but usually several, interconnected courses. These include lectures,
exercises, seminars and practical courses in the laboratory.
In the first semester of the programme, the focus lies on connecting soft matter science approaches
with microbiological knowledge and engineering methods needed to understand all aspects of the
processing of the complex food matrix. You analyse treatment processes for food and explore new
technology with which functional compounds from plant-based or animal-based raw materials may
be efficiently gained, enzymatically modified or stabilised through encapsulation. At the same
time, you learn scientific approaches, including modern chemical, physical, molecular and
statistical methods, as well as methods for modelling and simulating unit operations, processes,
and reactions. During practical courses you put your acquired skills to practice, whilst exploring
food processing in natural scientific, engineering, and economic contexts during seminars.
Starting in the second semester, you are free to plan your studies according to your individual
interests and preferred areas of specialisation. You do so by choosing from a wide range of elective
modules, such as:
Bioethanol and Distilled Spirits

Dairy Science and Technology
Downstream Processing
Drying, Granulation, and Instantisation
Advanced Meat Science and Technology
Biotechnology
Enzymatic Reactions
The selection of elective modules on offer allows you to develop your scientific qualifications to
include areas of the field not covered within the scope of the compulsory modules. You may also
take modules in other areas of the life sciences, such as the nutritional sciences. In addition to
subject-specific modules, you may complete modules offered in other Master's programmes in the
natural sciences at the University of Hohenheim or at other universities, both in Germany and
abroad.
The second year allows you to plan your studies freely according to your individual interests and
preferred areas of specialisation. Knowledge and practical skills acquired in the first year are
expanded by further specialising in selected areas of the field, such as the interaction between
ingredients in the complex food matrix. The emphasis on conducting research increases. Project
work modules give you the opportunity to apply your acquired skills within the context of a
scientific project by independently planning and executing scientific research projects, with a
supervisor providing guidance as needed.
The open structure of the second year also provides you with a perfect opportunity to study abroad
or undertake a prolonged internship at national or international research facilities or in the life
science industry. The last semester of the programme is reserved for the writing of a research-
intensive Master's thesis.
Integrated internships Students have the opportunity to complete an internship lasting a minimum of six weeks, in the
context of an elective module. This internship may be integrated flexibly into the course of studies.

programme
Description/content The English-taught Master's degree programme in Biotechnology (MBT) provides you with the
24
qualification to participate in the development of solutions for crucial issues of our future.
Biotechnology is regarded a to be key technology of the 21st century. It represents not only the
necessary transition from an oil-based to a bio-based industry and sustainable energy supply but
also ground-breaking advances in medicine and food security for a growing global population.
The focus of the programme is on bioeconomics, especially in the field of environment and
nutrition. It is designed for three semesters of full-time study and awards the title of Master of
Science.
Students independently work on case studies and familiarise themselves with the field of
bioproduction, including important security measures and authority management. The resulting
specialists will be fully aware of the future trends and opportunities of the highly innovative
biotechnology industry but also recognise potential conflict areas and ethical issues.
Additionally, the international orientation of the programme provides students with valuable
intercultural skills and other crucial qualifications in the distinctly multinational field of
biotechnology.
The MBT programme is organised jointly by Offenburg University of Applied Sciences and the
University of Warmia and Mazury (UWM) in Olsztyn, Poland. It is the only internationally
cooperative Master's programme in biotechnology in the state of Baden-Württemberg and offers
the opportunity to earn a double degree from the two partner universities.
The UWM in Poland is a traditional university with a strong focus on research. Offenburg is a
smaller-sized institution, and students here benefit from more personal attention from
instructors and staff as well as comprehensive support services and close cooperation with the
local industry and other business partnerships.

Friedrich Schiller University Jena

The History of the University
In 2008, the Friedrich Schiller University Jena celebrated its 450th anniversary. It was founded as an academic school by Prince-Elector
Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous of Saxony in 1548. It was raised to the status of university by Emperor Ferdinand I in 1557 and opened
as such in 1558.
Instead of an outline of the university's history, here are some facts:
In 1663, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was a student of the scientist Erhard Weigel in Jena.
Friedrich Schiller was a professor of history at Friedrich Schiller University Jena between 1789 and 1799. At the same time Johann Wolfgang
von Goethe, then State Minister of Saxe-Weimar, supported Friedrich Schiller University Jena extraordinarily. He spent a lot of time in Jena.
Jena was the centre of classical German philosophy, hosting among others: Johann Gottlob Fichte (1794-1799), Friedrich-Wilhelm Joseph
Schelling (from 1798), Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1805-1807).
Numerous renowned German poets, writers and dramatists studied at Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Johann Christian Günther,
Friedrich Gottlob Klopstock, Matthias Claudius, Friedrich Hölderlin, Novalis, Julius Mosen, Clemens Brentano, Gerhard Hauptmann, Kurt
Tucholsky).
World-famous pedagogues such as Christian Gotthilf Salzmann, Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel, Peter Petersen (Jenaplanschule) studied
or taught in Jena.
Johann Wolfgang Doebereiner (Professor of Chemistry, 1810-1849) was the first to organise the chemical elements by means of "triads".
Ernst Haeckel (Professor of Zoology, 1834-1909) was the most distinguished representative of evolution theory in Germany.
The physicist Hans Busch (Professor of Applied Physics, 1922-1947) worked on electron optics and developed the basic principles of
electron microscopy.
The Jena psychiatrist and neurologist Hans Berger (professor, 1906-1938) developed the diagnostic method of electroencephalography
(EEG).

Jena's academic and intellectual development

Jena has been one of the most famous places to study in Germany since the founding of its university, the "Alma Mater Jenensis", in 1558.
At the end of the 18th century, thanks to its close connection to the nearby royal seat at Weimar and support by the poet and minister,
Goethe, the city on the Saale went through its classical period, during which it developed into the most important intellectual centre in
Germany.
Jena's economic development

In the second half of the 19th century, Jena developed into an industrial city, thanks to the work of the three scientific and economic
41
giants, Carl Zeiss, Otto Schott, and Ernst Abbe. Their cooperation led to the creation of the world-famous Zeiss Works and the "Schott und
Genossen" glass factory. This effective cooperation between research institutes and economic enterprises has proven its value all the way
up to the present day and justifies Jena's exceptional reputation as a high-technology location.
Jena's modern cultural scene

In addition to museums of technology, science, literature, and art history, there is also an attractive modern cultural scene in Jena. For
example, the annual open-air festival "Kulturarena" attracts international stars to Jena. Furthermore, there are plenty of individual, top-
class events among the wide range of performances at Jena Theatre (Theaterhaus), Jena Art Society (Kunstverein), and Jena Philharmonic
Orchestra.
Jena's countryside
The traditional, innovative city lies at the middle reaches of the River Saale. The Saale valley in Jena is shaped by a host of monuments to its
cultural history and has connections with many great names from the past. Along with its many sights, the city, nestled in an almost
Mediterranean landscape with limestone hills up to 400 metres high, boasts a variety of bicycle paths and charming surroundings for
walking and all other sporting activities, such as triathlons, dragon boating, cycling, track, marathons, martial arts, etc.

The History of the University
In 2008, the Friedrich Schiller University Jena celebrated its 450th anniversary. It was founded as an academic school by Prince-Elector
Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous of Saxony in 1548. It was raised to the status of university by Emperor Ferdinand I in 1557 and opened
as such in 1558.
Instead of an outline of the university's history, here are some facts:
In 1663, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was a student of the scientist Erhard Weigel in Jena.
Friedrich Schiller was a professor of history at Friedrich Schiller University Jena between 1789 and 1799. At the same time Johann Wolfgang
von Goethe, then State Minister of Saxe-Weimar, supported Friedrich Schiller University Jena extraordinarily. He spent a lot of time in Jena.
Jena was the centre of classical German philosophy, hosting among others: Johann Gottlob Fichte (1794-1799), Friedrich-Wilhelm Joseph
Schelling (from 1798), Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1805-1807).
Numerous renowned German poets, writers and dramatists studied at Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Johann Christian Günther,
Friedrich Gottlob Klopstock, Matthias Claudius, Friedrich Hölderlin, Novalis, Julius Mosen, Clemens Brentano, Gerhard Hauptmann, Kurt
Tucholsky).
World-famous pedagogues such as Christian Gotthilf Salzmann, Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel, Peter Petersen (Jenaplanschule) studied
or taught in Jena.
Johann Wolfgang Doebereiner (Professor of Chemistry, 1810-1849) was the first to organise the chemical elements by means of "triads".
Ernst Haeckel (Professor of Zoology, 1834-1909) was the most distinguished representative of evolution theory in Germany.
The physicist Hans Busch (Professor of Applied Physics, 1922-1947) worked on electron optics and developed the basic principles of
electron microscopy.
The Jena psychiatrist and neurologist Hans Berger (professor, 1906-1938) developed the diagnostic method of electroencephalography
(EEG).
The optician and mechanic Carl Zeiss, the physicist Ernst Abbe and the glass chemist Otto Schott formed an impressive collaboration at the
end of the 19th century, a unique example of cooperation between science and industry that has been shaping the profile of scientific
research at Friedrich Schiller University Jena to this day.
Today the Friedrich Schiller University Jena is a university on the move. With about 18,000 enrolled students, it is one of Germany's fastest
growing universities. Despite the fact that the number of students has quadrupled since 1989, the university is not overcrowded. More than

Description/content To lay the foundation for working in molecular disease research, Medical Life Sciences (MedLife)
provides knowledge in human biology, pathology and systems biology.
Courses in molecular biology, bioinformatics, clinical cell biology, medical statistics, systems
biology and human genetics make the interfaces between medicine and the sciences visible. You
will learn how to acquire knowledge, verify and use it in research.
Starting in the second semester, you will specialise in one of three focus areas:
Evolutionary Medicine investigates how interrelations between humans and their environment
have led to current disease susceptibility. Why do we suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes,
heart disease and obesity? Why are certain genetic variants maintained in populations despite
their disease risk?
Inflammation takes you deep into the molecular mechanisms of chronic inflammatory diseases,
the causal network between inflammatory processes and disease, genetics and environment.
Oncology leads you into molecular research of malignant diseases, the interplay of genetics and
environment, cell biology of tumours and many other aspects.
Experts in their fields guide you through lectures and seminars. Lab practicals and project work in
state-of-the-art research labs as well as your Master's thesis provide ample opportunity to improve
51
your skills and be involved in research projects.
You will also choose electives that complement your focus area.Tracing Disease through Time
looks at disease etiology by analysing biomolecules, diets and pathogens in archaeological
specimens. In Cardiovascular Epidemiology, you will immerse yourself in epidemiological
approaches with a special emphasis on cardiovascular diseases, which belong to the greatest
health threats in modern societies. Imaging in medical research is also on the menu.MolOcular can
lead to insights while focusing on the eye.
Molecular Diagnostics, Metabolomics, Tissue Engineering, Neurosciences, and Epithelial Barrier

Kiel University
Kiel University (also referred to as the CAU) was founded in 1665. It is Schleswig-Holstein's oldest, largest and best-known university, with
27,000 students and around 3,700 staff members. It is also the only full-fledged university in the state. Seven Nobel Prize winners have
worked here. The CAU has been successfully taking part in the Excellence Initiative since 2006.
We use research, teaching and the transfer of science to address the great challenges of our time in health, environmental and cultural
change, nutrition and energy. In doing so, we ensure peace and preserve livelihoods for future generations. We use responsible actions to
make sure that scientific discoveries are transferred into all sectors of our society by interdisciplinary thought – regardless of short-lived
trends – where they are incorporated into political, economic and social decisions aimed at securing peace and prosperity.
When it was founded back in 1665, the CAU had the motto “Pax Optima Rerum: peace is the most valuable asset.” This maxim is as
applicable today as it was over 350 years ago. We want to follow this key idea and contribute towards creating a peaceful, fair world in
which everyone lives freely and comfortably. We aim to create a world in which treating the environment with respect also enables future
54
generations to enjoy the same benefits.
CAU’s mission:
Our mission is to deliver research and teaching that contribute to peace, prosperity and maintaining a pluralistic, free society as well as
address the challenges we are facing. Our strong disciplines carry out this mission. The fulfilment of this mission requires interdisciplinary
collaboration and involves transdisciplinary issues. We find solutions to today’s pressing problems and implement these solutions
together with stakeholders from society, industry and politics.
Teaching profile:
We are dedicated to research-based teaching and learning. Therefore, the development of new teaching approaches is evolving constantly
at the interfaces between research from the different scientific disciplines. Students from all over the world benefit from this: research
results are quickly integrated into programme curricula and our academic staff is trained in state-of-the-art teaching methods.
Research profile:
The CAU is Schleswig-Holstein’s only full-fledged university with a major focus on research. Over time, four dynamic priority research areas
have systematically developed. These are based on strong disciplines interacting together – Marine Science, Life Science, Societal and
Cultural Change, and Nano Surface and Interface Science. Each individual research area makes a substantial contribution towards dealing
with at least one of the grand challenges of our time.
Transfer profile:
A university is not an island. It is an entity that impacts on, with and for society in a number of ways, by offering space for new ideas,
passing on knowledge and values, and enabling debates about controversial subjects. Universities train specialists, produce innovative
products and start-ups, help companies to develop further and assist politics by giving advice and warnings. The CAU encompasses top
quality, innovative science, a sense of responsibility and the transfer of knowledge. We advocate for the university’s active role in society
and aim to work closely together with the community to be the driving force behind regional, national and international development by
looking for and finding pioneering solutions for our most pressing issues. This is the reason why we maintain a variety of active
connections with our partners in science, industry, politics and society.
Read more about our profiles.
University location
The city of Kiel is located directly on the Baltic Sea coast and is the capital of the northernmost German federal state, Schleswig-Holstein.
Famous for its sailing tradition, Kiel has hosted two Olympic sailing competitions. The city's annual "Kiel Week" is the world's largest sailing
event and one of the biggest cultural festivals in northern Europe. Kiel's international flair is enhanced by its port, where Scandinavian
ferries dock next to cruise liners and historic ships. Those who enjoy going out will benefit from the city's lively cultural life as well as the
many clubs and bars to be found between the campus and the city centre. Kiel is a strong centre of science and research. Our students
benefit from studying by the sea in a city that offers short distances and a wide range of leisure facilities by the waterside. It takes less than
20 minutes to get from the lecture hall to the beach. A fresh breeze on your face and the right books on hand create a great atmosphere for
learning. The social conditions for studying in Kiel are excellent. Freshmen receive a welcome payment of 100 EUR when they come to Kiel
to commence their undergraduate studies. Here, they have the opportunity to live in one of the many halls of residence, which are
reasonably priced and situated close to the universities. In our bicycle-friendly city, not only the universities but also other inner-city
locations can be reached conveniently by bike. The new scientific generation represents the most important resource for making Kiel, the
state capital, fit for the future.

programme
Description/content The Master's programme "Molecular Life Sciences: Microbiology, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry
(MBB)" is jointly offered by the Faculty of Biology and the Faculty of Chemistry.
Building on their existing knowledge in (molecular) biology and biochemistry, students will learn to
apply methodical approaches to the analysis of biomolecules and cellular functions on molecular
levels. Focus will be placed on concepts and methods from the fields of molecular cell biology and
plant sciences, biotic interactions, and biotechnology as well as structural and RNA-biochemistry.
The whole programme is held in English. The curriculum comprises lectures with initial practical
courses and consecutive individual research projects applying high-end technology. A variety of
bacterial, fungal, and plant model organisms are used.
Course Details
Course organisation The research-oriented Master's programme "Molecular Life Sciences: Microbiology, Biotechnology,
and Biochemistry" is four semesters long and typically follows a Bachelor's programme in
biology/biosciences/biochemistry. 120 ECTS points are earned during the modularised
programme. Fundamental knowledge of the subject and its methods are first conveyed in core,
profile and advanced modules. Competence modules additionally convey further occupational
qualifying key competencies.
61
In the fourth semester, the six-month Master's thesis is written in which the students are required
to work independently and scientifically. The students are responsible for their individual work on
a scientific topic usually embedded in third-party funded projects. The programme is conducted in
an active research environment with high international standing.
The Master's examination leads to a degree qualifying graduates for occupational and research
opportunities. It especially qualifies students for a PhD programme and later on for occupational
opportunities in the field of biosciences.
Excellent knowledge of English (certified) as well as knowledge of the German language is required.

General information about studying in
Germany
Important contact information
In addition to its headquarters in Bonn, Germany, the DAAD also operates a global network of regional offices and information centres. If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. You will find the addresses here: www.daad.de/addresses.
If you want to contact the International Office at the German university you wish to apply to, you can find the contact information here:
www.daad.de/io.
Scholarships & Financing

You can find information on various kinds of DAAD funding for international students, graduates and postdocs as well as on funding offered
by other selected organisations here: www.daad.de/scholarships.
Germany is not particularly expensive compared to other European countries. But if you want to successfully study abroad, you will have to
correctly estimate the costs and ensure that you can cover them. You will find relevant information here: www.daad.de/costs.
Accommodation in Germany
There are various accommodation options for students in Germany. In addition to flatshares or your own flat, many students live in halls of
residence in the university towns.
You can find information on finding accommodation in Germany on the following website:www.daad.de/accommodation.
Information, addresses and application details for a large selection of halls of residence in Germany can be found here:
www.daad.de/accommodationfinder.
The German language

German is usually the language of instruction at German higher education institutions. Sufficient language skills are therefore a
prerequisite for studying in Germany. The most important questions and answers:
Are German language skills always necessary?

Because the language is important for your studies, you will often have to present proof of proficiency in German when you apply.
Exceptions are international degree programmes and certain postgraduate programmes. The requirement to prove your language skills
may also be waived if you only want to study in Germany for one or two semesters. Contact the International Office at your higher
education institution for details.
How do I prove my language skills?

Usually you will be expected to take a German language test before you are admitted to your degree programme. There are official tests
with which you can prove your German language skills.
You can find more information at: www.daad.de/german-language.
Admission requirements
If you have already studied for several years in your home country (at least one or two years depending on the country of origin), it may
often be possible for you to be admitted directly to higher education in Germany. The same is true after completing a degree abroad.
However, not every foreign degree automatically qualifies you for an admission to continue your studies in Germany.
Bachelor's degrees obtained abroad are sometimes only recognised as an intermediate examination.
Before you apply for a postgraduate programme, you may need to take part in a placement process in the respective degree course.
You can find more information and the DAAD database on admission requirements at:www.daad.de/admission-requirements.
