This two-year international master's programme combines deep biotechnological insight with practical food science to support the green transition and strengthen food preparedness. In this programme, all students will learn: 

• Advanced knowledge of biological and food systems, from the molecular level to whole organisms and industrial processes 

• Practical skills in core disciplines such as molecular and cell biology, microbiology, and biochemistry 

• How to utilize bioresources responsibly and contribute to a circular bioeconomy 

• Relevant analytical methods, statistical models, and digital tools, including programming for data processing 

• How to identify, formulate, and analyse complex, multidisciplinary ("wicked") problems within biotechnology or food science 

• How to plan, carry out, and communicate an independent research project under supervision 

Depending on your chosen track, you will also specialize in either: 

• Biotechnology — the relationships between the structure and function of biomolecules, cellular metabolism, molecular genetics, and protein biosynthesis, and how to apply this knowledge to analyse and manipulate biological systems 

• Food Science — sustainable resource utilization and the process technologies that support food safety and preparedness, and how raw materials, the cold chain, and processing choices affect product quality and shelf life
