Sustainable combination of biotechnology and environmental technology
The Bio- and Environmental Technology degree programme unites chemistry and biology with the engineering sciences of biotechnology and environmental technology. The combination of Biotechnology and Environmental Technology offers a unique possibility to study two future technologies simultaneously. Biotechnologists work on the engineering applications of biology. They produce medicines, biological fertilizers, biofuels and biogas. Biotechnology is very important in medicine for the regeneration of tissue, the treatment of infections or the diagnosis of illnesses. Environmental Technologists purify waste water or air, clean up contaminated sites and reduce current and future pollution in their planning of industrial plants.
A career must offer quality of life, an exciting environment and opportunities for further development. A degree in bioengineering and environmental engineering meets these criteria: Immediately after graduation, you work as a project employee in the planning of large industrial plants. You can go on to be responsible for a sub-area of construction before managing projects yourself. Another example would have you start as an analyst in drug production before managing individual production steps yourself. And with the know-how you have acquired, you can then take over a research group to develop new drugs.
