Success in 3 Years
Students
for this program are selected after successful completion
of two years of undergraduate education in sciences or engineering
at a university or an equivalent institution.The degree obtained
in this program is completed within 6 semesters. It begins
with the winter semester, starting with intensive language
courses in French, German and English.
Each of the four partner universities is responsible for part
of the program, according to their special strengths in research,
resulting in a diverse program covering a wide spectrum of
current research. All aspects of biotechnology are covered,
from molecular biology to microbiology, bioprocess engineering
and biocomputing. Lectures in patent law, economics and professional
language courses complete the program. In the third year,
students can focus on specialized areas, such as bioproduction
or bioinformatics.

International Opportunities
The
degree – in French “Diplôme d’Ingénieur
en Biotechnologie”, in German “Diplom-Biotechnologe”
– is recognized in the three participating countries.
Internationally, there are many oppotunizies to enter the
job market or a PhD program. ESBS graduates have many interesting
jobs available to them worldwide, such as research and development,
management, quality assurance and education.

Boost of Team Work
The
limited number of 40 students per year guarantees individual
student the attention by lecturers. The personal atmosphere
is also conducive to the development of character and communication
skills, as well as practicing team work, responsibility and
social competence. The constant contact with various nationalities
makes it easier to switch between the languages and makes
one more open to new views and different kinds of people,
which has allowed ESBS graduates to be active all over the
world.

Contact with Industry
During
the course of studying, there are many opportunities to establish
contacts with potential employers. Biotechnical companies
are represented at the supervisory board of the ESBS
and contribute to the development of the curriculum.
Internships make up a significant part of this program. Besides
the laboratory courses, which run parallel to the lectures,
external training periods are also integrated into the curriculum.
The studies end with an 8-month thesis, which the students
can complete in research laboratories worldwide, in industry,
private institutions or in academia.
External Final Theses
Worldwide
So
far, 400 ESBS alumni keep the students up-todate regarding
interesting job offers and other news which they get from
their networking resources.
