Biomolecular Engineering – Molekulare Biotechnologie

Bachelor of Science; language: German

Curriculum

Molecular biotechnology is an interdisciplinary field within the natural sciences. Situated at the heart of the life sciences, it applies theoretical knowledge of chemical and biological processes to practical applications using engineering principles. On the one hand, new chemical methods, techniques and syntheses are developed to study biological processes at the molecular level. On the other hand, molecular biological methods are used to design biomolecules and specifically modify biological systems.

At TU Darmstadt, the degree programme is jointly run by the Departments of Chemistry and Biology. A key focus of the programme is the design of molecules and microorganisms for use in the field of biotechnology.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Science programme Biomolecular Engineering – Molekulare Biotechnologie have a number of opportunities on the labor market. They can find employment particularly in the field of chemistry (e.g. in the laundry detergent industry; production of special chemicals), in the pharmaceutical industry, and in the field of bioengineering (e.g. in the development and production of alternative fuels or dietary supplements). Due to their broad-based, fundamental, and research-oriented training, they may also be in demand in unrelated occupational fields such as internet and telecommunication, financial and insurance services, or consulting. Apart from subject-specific Master’s degree programmes (e.g. M.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering – Molekulare Biotechnologie or M.Sc. Chemie), it may be appropriate to complete a graduate programme or do further training in the respective fields.
