The training that suits your life

Can you remember the last time you took a painkiller? You were certainly happy when the tablet had the desired pain-relieving effect and no undesirable side effects occurred.

With us, you will familiarise yourself with the requirements of safe pharmaceutical production and all measures to ensure product quality. At our customers' sites, you can apply your theoretical knowledge, e.g. from the technical processes, directly in practice and make your contribution to a high level of quality assurance.  

After an intensive induction period, as a dual student you will work with our experienced technicians and engineers in the technical field service for the GxP Services department or realise your own smaller projects. Through the various on-site assignments with our customers, you will get to know interesting companies and people throughout Germany. You will support our team with calibrations, cleanroom measurements and qualifications. As a co-project manager, you will play an active role in interesting projects in the field of qualification and validation and take responsibility for individual work packages. I promise! You won't be bored during your practical phases and you will be able to apply your theoretical knowledge in a targeted manner.  

At the university, you will be taught the scientific and technical basics. Special emphasis is placed on biopharmaceutical technology and the legal regulations of quality assurance (GMP). You will learn about the entire biopharmaceutical process chain in coordinated modules, from the biological production of the pharmaceutically active substance to the production of the final dosage form of a drug.
