Biomass Technology (MSc)

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Overexploitation of fossil resources, the climate crisis, or marine littering - biomass technologies are indispensable for solving the ecological problems of the present and future, as they can be used, for example, to develop renewable energy sources or degradable plastics. Students of the English-taught Master's degree program Biomass Technology (M.Sc.) learn to develop, analyze, and implement sustainable strategies for biomass utilization. The joint degree program at the TUM Campus Straubing and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna has a strong interdisciplinary focus. It includes biotechnology, bioeconomy, materials science, and process engineering subjects. Students acquire in-depth knowledge of the cultivation, use, and processing of biogenic raw materials and waste products for energy generation or the production of alternative materials. They learn to evaluate production scenarios from an ecological and economic perspective and develop an extensive understanding of material and energy flows and their environmental impact.
