Learning objectives

A successful implementation of a work-oriented project requires and combines various skills and diverse expertise. The course projects are implemented in cooperation with companies and partners in different fields. After having completed the course, the student is able to prove his or her expertise in view of bioprocesses and he or she is able to utilise and develop the expertise in a multi-professional project team. The student learns to understand the importance of cooperation and responsibility in target-oriented tasks. He or she is also able to develop his or her creative problem-solving skills. The student is able to examine context-related components critically and analytically and to write a scientific technical report on the results in publishable form.
