Wageningen University & Research is a world-leading institution in agricultural and environmental sciences. The Master’s in Biosystems Engineering focuses on the development of technology for different aspects of food production systems. You will learn how to develop sustainable technology for the production, processing, and storage of food, and food byproducts. And how model complex processes in food production in order to analyse and improve them. There is a strong focus on the interaction between technology, plants, animals, the environment, and society. With the aim to integrate new technology within existing processes.
Does your interest lie in automation and robotics for agriculture, modelling complex biological processes, smart information systems, logistics, or environmental and biobased technology? This programme offers flexibility to tailor your study path with multiple thesis tracks: Agricultural Biosystems Engineering, Biobased Chemistry and Technology, Environmental Technology, Information Technology, Geo-information Sciences and Remote Sensing, Mathematical and Statistical Methods and Operations Research and Logistics.
