Biofabrication Master

Master's degree in biofabrication

Biofabrication is a rapidly growing research area that utilizes automated processes to generate functional biological tissues. It is a strongly interdisciplinary field combining engineering, material science and biology. In many cases, additive manufacturing is a key element to generate tissue analogues for applications like personalized tissue model systems for drug screening or improved therapies. The University of Würzburg was one of the first locations worldwide to offer a specialized Master´s program focusing on Biofabrication and the structure of the Master´s degree was designed in a way that represents the interdisciplinary character of Biofabrication with a focus on material science. The courses within the degree cover a spectrum of different disciplines and help the students to connect to other study courses within the faculty of chemistry and pharmacy. Individualized specialization and strengthening of practical expertise are ensured via the research internships.

2nd semester

• BioFab Research Internship 1 (30 ECTS)

3rd semester, The Master's degree requires a degree in a bachelor's degree, with 80 ECTS credits from the fields of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. Furthermore, 10 ECTS points are required in theoretical and practical fields of biofabrication (e.g. polymer science, rheology, materials science, mathematics, computer science, mechatronics, biochemistry or (molecular) cell biology). Participation in an interview process is compulsory. The provisional admission to the Master's degree can be granted if at least 150 ECTS credits are awarded in a corresponding bachelor's program., For candidates with a degree from a non-German-speaking institution, proof of sufficient knowledge of German is required.
