About the program
The program trains specialists in development, production, quality management, validation, and certification of biotechnology products. There are several graduation paper types to choose from – be that an industrial thesis, a scientific publication in a top-tier journal, or a startup launch.Upon entering the program, you can opt for one of the tracks by the program’s partner companies: BIOCAD (the entire cycle of drug production: from molecule search and gene engineering to mass production and marketing support) or GEROPHARM (all stages of drug production). Alternatively, you may also choose a general track (innovative biotechnological products).
The program places a high priority on assisting students in shaping their professional goals: from the beginning of your studies, your lectures will be taught by heads of HR departments at prominent companies.
During your first year of studies, you will work on a team project alongside industry leaders. The second year of your studies will be focused entirely on your internship and graduation paper. Your two-semester-long internship will help you gain a year of work experience prior to receiving your diploma.
