Graduates with a specialization in Biotechnology have learnt to employ the methods of molecular biology and genetic engineering on the one hand and engineering science on the other. They mainly find work in the development and optimization of genetic engineering processes, the operation of bioreactors and in the field of environmental engineering. They transfer processes developed in the laboratory to full-scale engineering applications, ensure the smooth running of production processes, design and supervise bioprocess engineering facilities, or work in the field of environmental engineering to develop biological processes for the disposal of solid, liquid and gaseous substances.
Graduates have a large variety of career options with a focus on the following fields:
- Biomedical research & development
- Pharmaceutical industry & diagnostics
- Chemical industry
- Agriculture, fertilizer & feed industries
- Apparatus & plant engineering for biotechnological applications
- Metrology, testing & analysis
- Environmental engineering
- Public infrastructure, associations & lobbies
- International co-operation & organizations
- Consulting, free-lancing
