Biotechnology and Environmental Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering (Bilingual)

Is sustainability not just a keyword for you? The "Biotechnology and Environmental Engineering" degree programme addresses current and future challenges related to sustainability, bioeconomy, food, environmental and resource protection, product quality and safety, and digital transformation. We impart the practical and scientific know-how required to apply these future technologies precisely. Our goal is to train engineers both in accordance with the technical and technological requirements and needs of the relevant industry and with economic and ecological competence. The programme therefore focuses on technological and scientific knowledge and teaches skills for resource-efficient optimisation of the overall system of environment, people, and production. You will learn about the integration of the entire value chain, from a wide variety of raw materials to the biotechnological production of high-quality products for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors, and the sustainable use of the resulting by-product streams. Environmental requirements for keeping water, soil, and air clean, as well as the use of renewable energies in production processes, play a particularly important role. Knowledge, skills, and methods required for your professional activity are taught in an application-oriented manner. The degree programme is structured in a mixture of lectures, seminars, exercises, case studies, and internships. Study programme projects and practice phases aim to promote interdisciplinary thinking and social competence. You will be able to independently expand already acquired knowledge and transfer the knowledge into practice to develop solutions for complex and business-related problems. A pleasant learning atmosphere, small learning groups, and personal contact between teachers and students characterise the study programme. After graduation, a broad professional field is open to you. Our graduates work in the areas of bioresource producing and processing industry, in plant engineering, authorities, or organisations and hold positions such as developers, project engineers, or group and department managers. Subject group: science, biotechnology, engineering, environment, and mathematics (STEM), computer science Field of interest: engineering, biology, chemistry, biotechnology, economics, environment
