Master’s programme Biorefinery Engineering (E)

Content and focus of the degree programme:

The master's programme in "Biorefinery Engineering" provides students with engineering knowledge and skills that are necessary for the construction and operation of technical systems for using biogenic resources. After completing this master’s programme the students will be able to recognise and classify trends in the biobased industry and to convert innovations into business models. Due to the interdisciplinary structure of the master’s programme the students will be able to perform leadership tasks in an international and interdisciplinary environment. In research-led internships at the university or with industrial partners the students will become familiar with state-of-the-art technologies. The education takes into account the interdisciplinary challenges of the use of biogenic resources on both a technical and non-technical level. The close ties to practice and an innovation orientation of the degree programme will enable students to conduct high-quality and structured research work and to develop innovative systems on a scientific basis in order to transform biogenic resources economically and with great ecological responsibility into energy and high-quality products within the framework of a modern bioeconomy.
