Specialisation Environmental and Biobased Technology
Focus on biotechnological application during degradation of waste and production of valuable products or energy from renewable resources.
Students will follow one year of courses, some compulsory and other optional. In the second year of the MSc students will perform 2 research projects: one major thesis and one internship or 2nd thesis.
