You have already earned a bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering, engineering science, bioengineering science, or an equivalent degree with 180 ECTS points. In addition, your English is at the level of “B 2”, while your German level should be basic (A1). You will also need to provide a 12-week industry internship and successfully complete the aptitude assessment process. Once these requirements are matched, you are ready to “biofabricate”.
