Advanced Biomedical Expertise BioMex
Profile and content
Explore the unique BioMex certificate programme designed for advanced education in biotechnology, with a focus on biopharmaceutical applications and production techniques. Tailored for anyone with a university degree and an interest in biotechnology, this exclusive programme is conducted solely in English.
Pharmaceutical Biotechnology in Focus
Pharmaceutical biotechnology involves applying biotechnological techniques within the pharmaceutical industry. It utilizes biological systems – organisms and their derivatives – to develop pharmaceutical products for therapeutic purposes, diagnosis, or disease prevention. Beyond vaccine development, the programme prioritises also the search for and production of potential drugs.
Modular Learning for Tailored Expertise
The BioMex programme is modular, allowing participants to choose from various modules based on a blended learning concept. Modules are grouped into competence clusters like Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology, Innovation Management and Intercultural Cooperation, and Facility, Energy and Environmental Management.
Participants can create a personalised study profile and obtain certificates ranging from "Micro-Credentials" (from 3 ECTS) to a "Certificate of Advanced Studies” (more than 10 ECTS) or even a "Diploma of Advanced Studies” (more than 30 ECTS).
All modules are assessed with 3 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System). ECTS is a standard for comparing the academic achievements and results of students at different universities in Europe. It was developed by the European Commission to facilitate the recognition of study periods abroad, ensuring seamless credit transfer between universities.
