Master Specialization in FBM

This integrated MSc specialization in Fermentation Based Biomanufacturing was developed towards industry demands: Fermentation experts are needed who have a combined education providing biotechnological competences such as molecular biology, microbiology, and cell factory engineering, and competences in process engineering, such as bioreactor design, unit operations, and dimensioning, including mathematical modeling.

Traditionally, this is taught separately, the biotic part within the biotechnology education, the abiotic part within the chemical engineering education.
However, for becoming a fermentation expert, understanding of both, the biotic and abiotic part of the process, is required.

The Fermentation Based Biomanufacturing Master specialization provides the opportunity to specialize in biomanufacturing within the MSc Biotechnology (Biotech) or the MSc Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (CBE). It offers a unifying structure to support the specialization and provides close contact and interaction with the industry already during the studies.
