Quality management in the strict context of Good Manufacturing Practice is a legal requirement in particular for the biopharmaceutical industry. The necessary management optimization also opens up a wide range of opportunities. The degree program provides both. Biotechnological Quality Management combines technical expertise with management methods. The degree program focuses on quality management for biotechnological processes and products including Good Manufacturing Practice. As a graduate, you will develop and realize customer-oriented products and improve the company-internal process quality.

Your education and research benefit from our close partnerships with the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU) and the associated Vienna Institute of Biotechnology (VIBT), who share the campus with us, as well as our strong network in the industry. You will learn from experts from biotech companies that play a leading role when it comes to combining Good Manufacturing Practice-oriented quality management with management methods. Practical relevance is also guaranteed at our Campus Lecture evenings, which are open to all and feature contributions from prominent experts.
Once you have completed the bachelor's degree program in Bioengineering and the master's degree program in Biotechnological Quality Management, you will be entitled to attend the postgraduate course "Pharmaceutical Quality Management" at the University of Vienna and thus in the future be responsible for the approval of medicinal products. For further information, please visit the secretary's office.
Good Manufacturing Practice is required in the biopharmaceutical and other industry sectors, and management optimization is the means to implement it.The degree program provides both.While certain regulatory conditions in the biopharmaceutical industry are legally binding and leave little room for economic considerations, companies are focusing more and more on processes that can be optimized and therefore can be carried out more cost-effectively.
Management methods such as value stream analysis, operations research or energy-related evaluation are necessary tools when business decisions must be made.With this management know-how, you will be highly sought after.
This program will provide you with extensive QM expertise.
