ESBS is a component of the University of Strasbourg. The school is a founding member of the “Alsace Tech” network which is an association of local High Schools of Strasbourg not only in scientific areas but also in management and architecture. ESBS is international since the beginning with german, swiss and french students and lectures given in french, german or english. Biotechnology is studied for 3 years in a multicultural atmosphere.
Three Upper Rhine Universities are partners of the ESBS: the University of Strasbourg, the University of Basel and the University of Freiburg in Breisgau.
All aspects of Biotechnology are taught: biochemistry, biophysics, molecular and cellular biology, microbiology, cellular engineering at molecular level or in silico, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and bioprocess engineering.
Some hints into patent law, economics and management are provided.
The cursus begins with intensive french or german language courses.
Four specialization options are available: Bioproduction, Genomics and life modelling, environmental biology and synthetic biology.
ESBS has strong partnerships with industries. Leaders or engineers of biotechnoly industries participate in forums, give lectures or seminars at ESBS and allows students to accomplish practical training periods in industry.
ESBS engineers find jobs in health and environment industry.
French educational system allows industries or companies to choose an educational institute (University, High School, etc…) and to support it financially. The procedure is described in the french version of this page.
University of Strasbourg created a fondation where partners can spend money for the ESBS with some tax benefits.
"Excellent, both theoretically and in the practical laboratory work, as well as with computers and instruments"
The Institute of Technology, Sweden
"Man lernt im Laufe der drei Jahre, sich an die verschiedensten Umgebungsbedingungen anzupassen. Die Praktika in diversen Labors erleichtern den Einstieg in die echte Laborwelt und ermöglichen viele Einblicke, die man als Student im klassichen Unialltag nicht erhält. Die Dreisprachigkeit öffnet Türen in alle Welt und diese Gelegenheit wird von vielen Studenten genutzt."
Graduate from class 2002, scientist at MIT, Boston/USA
"Outre la qualité de l'enseignement technique et pratique, l'apprentissage des langues étrangères et la forte ouverture de l'École sur l'espace rhénan sont des aspects très appréciés par les entreprises.
