The world’s economy is still largely based on fossil fuels; from energy generation to production of materials such as plastics and pharmaceuticals. Do you want to work on a future where we are less dependent on fossil raw materials? Do you want to make our society more circular and sustainable? Learn to work together with experts from different disciplines to solve complex issues in sustainability?
What will you study during this Master’s?
The master programme Biobased Sciences focuses on the transition from a petrochemical to a biobased and circular economy. This master zooms in on four main aspects to come to a sustainable transition: economic, technical, social and environmental aspects. The programme is interdisciplinary. It includes biomass production, bioconversion, biorefinery and societal, logistic and economic transition processes. There are three specialisations to choose from. You will develop thorough expertise in one of the three disciplines, and you will gain knowledge about the other two disciplines. The specialisations are: Biomass Production & Carbon Capture, Biorefinery & Conversion and Biobased & Circular Economy
Why this programme?
- The Master’s in Biobased Sciences focuses on themes like sustainable transitions and circular economies.
- The master’s starts with two foundation courses, followed by the specialisation and electives of your own choice.
- The three specialisations make it suitable for students with a science or engineering background, but also for economists.
- Interdisciplinary approach and build bridges between experts in technical, biological and economical sciences.
