Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology bachelor degree programme
Would you like to play a part in dramatically improving the quality of life of millions of patients around the world? The Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology bachelor programme will give you the opportunity to do just that.
Biotechnology is one of the world’s fastest growing research disciplines, and there is an urgent need for experts, managers and researchers who are qualified to work in the industry. As a graduate, you will have the expertise to contribute to the development of groundbreaking innovations in the field.
The degree programme: Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc)
The Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology bachelor degree is taught in English and comprises theoretical courses and extensive laboratory practicals that cover the fundamentals of natural sciences, biomedicine and the applicable technologies.
It is split into three subject areas:
Medical biotechnology
Lectures and laboratory exercises on biochemical processes, cell and molecular biology, and genetic engineering – including the various analytical techniques – provide a solid knowledge base. You will also gain insights into human medicine and pharmaceutical science in order to acquire an understanding of the effects of medicines and their production.
Pharmaceutical biotechnology
This is an important part of the degree: courses on the theoretical principles and practical implementation of processes used in the biopharmaceutical industry. These cover aspects such as the design of biopharmaceutical production processes and the basics of planning the related production facilities.
In the lab-based courses, a model process set-up is used to illustrate important concepts.
Quality management
Mistakes in the medical and pharmaceutical industry can cost lives, so a thorough knowledge of quality management is essential.
Fundamentals of business
As well as acquiring fundamental scientific knowledge, you also focus on communication and human resources in preparation for working in an interdisciplinary environment.
Your training also includes practical work as part of research and industry projects.
Biotechnology
Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary subject encompassing aspects of medicine, chemistry, biology, physics and pharmacy. Findings from this broad discipline are exploited using integrative approaches.
In this way, they can be implemented to develop biological systems for the production of therapeutic molecules or antibodies for cancer treatments, for instance.
New treatment methods
Biotechnology has developed into a key technology for the future by providing innovative new active substances and diagnostic methods.
There is an increasing focus on stem cells and the cultivation of human tissue in medical biotechnology research. This generates new treatments for previously incurable diseases.
Medical and pharmaceutical technology is by its nature an extremely interdisciplinary field, with the natural sciences, biomedicine and technology playing an especially important role.
Medical and pharmaceutical theory combined with extensive lab work: our graduates have a solid foundation on which to build when embarking on careers in biotechnology. They will play a part in tackling problems to which medicine cannot currently provide adequate solutions, and will have the chance to improve the quality of life of people all over the world.
Programme director Harald Hundsberger
A formula for success: theoretical knowledge + practical experience
The programme is built on three pillars.
The basics
Semesters 1-4
You will study a comprehensive range of medical and pharmaceutical biotechnology topics during your degree. Courses at the beginning of the programme cover the fundamentals of science, biomedicine, engineering and analysis in preparation for the more advanced subjects that comes later. The curriculum also includes quality management, business fundamentals, communication and interpersonal skills.
You spend a lot of time in the lab right from the very start. You’re introduced to scientific procedures in small groups, which you put into practice straight away.
The internship
Semester 5
The 22-week compulsory internship comes in semester 5. Over 50% of our Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology students complete their internship abroad at international companies, research institutes or universities.
We provide you with support before and during your internship: you identify your strengths and evaluate your development potential in the course of one-to-one coaching from our internship coordinator, who then helps you to find a suitable internship place at a company in Austria or abroad.
Looking to gain even more international experience? From 2020, students can spend semester 3 or 4 at a high-profile university such as the Dublin Institute of Technology in Ireland or Linköping University in Sweden.
Electives
Semester 6
Towards the end of the programme you opt for one of two electives: the medical biotechnology specialism Production of Therapeutic Proteins or the pharmaceutical biotechnology specialism Drug Development Management.
The goal of medical biotechnology is the replacement of damaged cells or organs, not with transplants or dialysis, but with naturally grown cells. Pharmaceutical biotechnology is concerned with manufacturing medical and pharmaceutical products and related operations. Antibiotics, which are produced with the help of microorganisms in large bioreactors, are examples of established biotechnology products.
