Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering
M.Sc.
Overview
Like the Bachelor's program, the Master's program in Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering combines engineering and natural sciences. On the one hand, the topics of plant engineering, process engineering and process control are dealt with in depth. At the same time, the focus is on molecular biology, bioprocesses and pharmaceutical technology.
Specialization topics of this program are production and fermentation processes, reactor technology, process development and optimization, bioprocess engineering, protein chemistry and analysis, hygiene, quality management and legal requirements for the production of pharmaceuticals.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
Graduates of the Master's program in Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering are able to …
- manufacture biotechnological drugs and pharmaceuticals in accordance with legal requirements
- plan and design the production of biotechnological products
- plan and design biotechnological production facilities
- statistically monitor, develop and optimize production processes
- specifically influence microorganisms biotechnologically
- study biotechnological products in accordance with the current state of science
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
After completing the Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering, graduates can work in the biotechnological, chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, in research & development as well as in production, engineering and quality management. Furthermore, functions in plant engineering are possible for these branches of industry. Fields of activity are, e.g.:
- Control, planning, evaluation and optimization of biotechnological and pharmaceutical processes
- Ensuring the quality of manufactured products in accordance with applicable guidelines
- Planning, project planning and monitoring of production plants
- Development of new manufacturing processes for biotechnological and pharmaceutical products
- University or industrial research and development
Structure
The Master's program in Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering builds on the foundations of the Bachelor's program Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering. Compulsory modules include subjects such as protein engineering, hygienic processing, pharmaceutical technology 2, bioreactors, bioreaction technology and process and plant engineering. In addition to the compulsory subjects, students can earn one third of the credits from numerous electives and thus compile their own profile according to their interests. The Master's thesis is written in the 4th semester.

Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school or department determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your bachelor's program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview.
