Course description
The bioeconomy is driving a major shift towards sustainable global economic development. This transformation involves moving from fossil-based to biogenic raw materials. By using renewable resources and microorganisms for food, energy, and materials, the bioeconomy lays its foundation. The M.Sc. Bioeconomy program is designed to train experts who can navigate, support, and shape this transition. The master's program focuses on environmental, behavioral, and innovation economics, integrating interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary elements. Students gain deep knowledge in sustainability and key technologies such as biotechnology, digitalization, energy technology, and process technology. This comprehensive education equips graduates to meet the demands of international, industrial, and complex value chains and systems, including their governance structures. Graduates are expected to drive and develop the necessary structural changes towards a sustainable bio-based economy. The bioeconomy relies on cutting-edge scientific research and connects technology, environment, society, and economy. This interconnectedness requires graduates to have an interdisciplinary understanding and a global perspective to succeed in international competition and contribute to global sustainability goals. The M.Sc. Bioeconomy program ensures that students are well-prepared to address these challenges, fostering an inclusive and forward-thinking approach to sustainable development.
