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?
The Master’s in Biobased Sciences focuses on the sustainable transition from a petrochemical to a biobased and circular economy. Students are trained to cross bridges between disciplines and become an expert in one of those fields.
You will:
- Learn about biomass production in plants and algae, bioconversion, and biorefinery.
- Learn about logistic and economic transition processes.
- Learn how to design circular product solutions.

Admission Requirements
The norm for this equivalence is
An assessment of the student’s expertise the following topics:
- Biomass production and Engineering:
Agricultural sciences (agrotechnology, biosystems engineering)
Biology (plant production)
Biotechnology
Chemistry (biochemistry, biorefinery)
Plant or Crop Science
Engineering (systems engineering, chemical engineering) - Economy:
Economics (micro and macroeconomics)
Logistics
Business (frameworks)
Candidates are expected to have a specific expertise in one of the topics above or an interdisciplinary view on connections between most of these topics. Not all topics mentioned need to be mastered at the same level; they will be weighed by the Admission Board per individual application.
