Biotechnology M.Sc. with Practical Semester
The Biotechnology Master's degree programme is offered with and without a practical semester. This results in a study duration of three or four semesters. A practical semester is a whole semester that you usually spend outside our university, in industry or at a research institute. It helps you gain a deeper insight into a possible later field of work and helps you make the best choice of topic for your Master's thesis. You will get 30 additional credit points (LP) for the practical semester and, thus, a total of 120 LP for your studies.
If you come from a Bachelor's degree programme with less than 210 credit points, you must take the four-semester Master's degree programme with practical semester. If you come from a Bachelor's degree programme with 210 or more credit points, you can take the three-semester Master's degree programme without a practical semester (Admission Regulations).
