Climate change mitigation and the preservation of biodiversity are the most pressing challenges of our time. These complex phenomena cannot be solved in a vacuum but through transnational joint action. The Master’s Programme in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy (Bioceb) was founded upon these reconnaissances. As the first European joint programme focusing on bioeconomy, the 2-year programme trains future research and innovation managers leaping to the forefront of the sustainable development movement. Graduates will have not one, but three master’s degrees from highly recognised universities in the bioeconomy field, giving them a competitive edge and head start for their international career.

Upon graduating from the Master’s Programme in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy, the graduates who have selected a study path involving Aalto University will have:

  • A thorough understanding of the technologies and processes involved in creating products and harnessing energy from biomass. Graduates have a comprehensive foundation in how wood, crops, plants and organic waste can be converted and used to create marketable bioproducts and renewable energy.
  • The ability to incorporate systems thinking into problem solving. Graduates understand the interconnected and interdependent nature of the modern challenges and are able to suggest solutions from a holistic perspective.
  • An interdisciplinary approach to their profession. Graduates have a versatile toolbox combining knowledge and skills of chemistry, biology, economic and environmental sciences as well as cross-cutting skills including project management.
  • A vast international experience. Graduates will have studied and experienced life in at least two European countries, bridging them to an international network of like-minded individuals.
