What will you learn? - Biotechnology and Food Science - Master’s Programme
What will you learn?

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
