Über den Studiengang

Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules, and ions and their interactions. Biotechnology is the application of biology to the solution of real-life challenges. The two disciplines are connected by their molecular approach and by their vast commercial importance. The transdisciplinary study program offers chemistry modules that include organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry; students are also taught the relevant aspects of mathematics, engineering, and industrial practice. The focus of biotechnology in this study program is to learn how the industry can take advantage of biocatalysts and biomolecules in order to contribute to a more sustainable future. Biorefining, i.e. the uses of renewable rather than fossil resources, is another major aspect of the program.
