Course description

The English Master’s programme in Insect Biotechnology and Bioresources is offered by the Faculty 09 Agricultural Sciences, Nutritional Sciences, and Environmental Management, in collaboration with Faculty 08 Biology and Chemistry, and the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences. Insects, with over a million scientifically described species, represent the largest group of organisms on Earth. This interdisciplinary research area delves into insects and their associated micro- and macroorganisms as new bioresources for fields like medicine, plant protection, pharmacy, industrial food, and biotechnology. Throughout your studies, you will engage deeply with the systematics and ecology of insects. You will gain specific scientific and technical knowledge and learn various research methods to explore insects and their associated organisms. These studies will help you discover new resources for food, luxury food, enzymes, and bioactive natural products, ultimately leading to the development of refined products. The programme emphasizes research and practical relevance, featuring a high level of interdisciplinary approaches and projects. This ensures that you not only learn theoretical concepts but also apply them in real-world scenarios, preparing you for a future in this innovative field.
