The consecutive Master's programme, which is strongly oriented towards research, provides in-depth understanding of the basic scientific principles of biotechnology, offers ample scope for specialisation, and leads to cross-disciplinary qualifications adapted to recent job-related social developments. Students are familiarised with current theories, methods and concepts germane to the planning, implementation and assessment of scientific research. Among other things, they learn how to manage projects, work in teams, and communicate effectively with other people. These key competencies will enable them toassert themselves in the academic job market.Graduates of the programme have a comprehensive understanding of at least one currently relevant area of biotechnological research, and they can set the specific features of this domain in relation to the fundamental principles of research in biotechnology and other branches of the natural sciences. In addition to core specialist knowledge of specific fields of investigation, they have assimiliated information about current research and the international scientific community.The MSc programme in biotechnology provides sound specialist knowledge of an area where biotechnological research projects are currently underway. Students are taught how to establish links between this domain and the basic principles underlying other biosciences and other natural science disciplines. In addition, they learn how to make these connections clear to other people. After completing the Master's programme they are well equipped for lifelong learning. In other words, they know how to acquire new skills and knowledge with little or no assistance from specialists. They can take stock of complex relationships between facts and ideas, discuss new research results, make a critical assessment of such findings and consider them in relation to academic disciplines which are relevant to the domain in which they are currently working. They can apply their knowledge in a responsible manner and make critical judgments after taking due account of social and ethical issues. They can develop scientific ideas and projects, work without external assistance, apply scientific methods and findings with a view to analysing and resolving problems relating to biotechnology. These activities include the planning, implementation and assessment of experimental research projects. When graduates of the programme take part in discussions with their colleagues, they can present facts and ideas in a critical and responsible manner, set biotechnological problems and findings in relation to neighbouring disciplines,take account of ongoing research, and communicate effectively with the general public. Taking due account of legal regulations, they can also head a team in a responsible fashion and show their co-workers how to carry out a scientific project successfully.
