Master of Science in Bioscience Engineering: Chemistry and Bioprocess Technology
The Master of Science in Bioscience Engineering: Chemistry and Bioprocess Technology aims to offer a broad education in applied chemistry, biochemical and microbial technology and chemical and biochemical engineering techniques. Not only does our programme focus on fundamental knowledge, it also zooms in on industrial production. The study programme addresses the social demand for the use of sustainable production processes and clean technologies.
