Biofabrication

The internationally oriented Master's programme Biofabrication is interdisciplinary in nature, representing an engineering curriculum at the intersection of technology, chemistry, material sciences, biology, and medicine. The programme is highly practice-oriented, offering you the opportunity to hone both your theoretical and practical skills. It covers the main topics of biofabrication, biomaterials, advanced modules, transferable skills, and a final Master's thesis. A detailed module handbook is provided for an overview of content and the qualification objectives of all modules, as well as the credits to be acquired as a measure of the workload and a description of the type of assessment components required for the award of credits. Module overview Main topic – Biomaterials: Biomaterials Medical Implant Engineering Three Core Elective Modules Main topic – Biofabrication: Biofabrication Cell Biology Three Core Elective Modules Advanced Modules: Three advanced modules OR one international advanced module at an international partner university Summer school Transferable Skills: Scientific Working Innovation Management The Master's programme in Biofabrication is organised in two parts, i.e. a general part and a specialisation part. In the first year of study, the modules of the main topics of biofabrication, biomaterials and transferable skills are scheduled. In the second year of study, the advanced modules as well as the Master's thesis are scheduled. The course types include lectures, seminars, and practical lab work. The courses in biofabrication are held in the winter semester, while the courses in biomaterials are held in the summer semester. The courses of the transferable skills and advanced modules are held in both the winter and summer semester, depending on the respective module and course. A detailed study plan is provided for an overview of all courses within the programme. Get a deeper understanding of biofabrication upfront by enrolling in the University of Bayreuth’s Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) "Biomaterials and Biofabrication: Design, Engineering and Innovation". The free audit track is a great way to get to know the lecturer and the research at the University of Bayreuth. On top of that, you can earn a certificate after passing an exam (paid verified track). Click here to enrol in the Biofabrication MOOC. PDF Download
