In view of the climate crisis, scarcity of raw materials, and changing consumer behavior, the transition to sustainable resource and technology management is unavoidable. Students of the Master’s program in Bioeconomy learn to shape social and macroeconomic transformation processes.

The finiteness of petroleum and fossil-based raw materials and structural changes towards a bioeconomy require the development of innovative biogenic materials. A particular challenge is combining the requirements regarding processability and high-performance properties with sustainability aspects.

Health, pharma, and biotechnology are of outstanding social and economic importance – and they rely on the systematic processing of biological data. Students on the Bachelor’s degree program in Bioinformatics learn to analyze this data and to make it applicable.

The master’s program in Bioinformatics is offered by the Technical University of Munich in partnership with Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich (LMU). The program offers great freedom in terms of individual specialization within the discipline.

Specialization in at least three of seven possible focus areas (biochemistry/cell biology, genetics/biostatistics, medical biology, microbiology, ecology/environmental management, plant sciences, animal sciences).

Overuse of resources, climate crisis, marine littering – biomass technologies are indispensable for solving ecological problems, for example with regard to renewable energies or degradable plastics. Students learn to develop and implement strategies for sustainable biomass use.

The main focus of this interdisciplinary degree program is the application of new research-driven natural and engineering principles and findings in both medicine and life sciences in order to develop new methods for prevention, diagnosis and therapy.

The Elite Master’s program Biomedical Neuroscience offers an excellent scientific training to get a top-level understanding of neuroscience theory and practice, as well as on neuro-psychiatric disorders. It fills the gap between standard medical education and natural science curricula.

This study course is offered in German only. For a detailed description see the German database entry.

The Bachelor's program Brewing and Beverage Technology deals with the engineering, biological, technological and biochemical processes of beverage production and brewing.

The Master's program Brewing and Beverage Technology provides sound knowledge for engineers in industrial beer and beverage production, development and research.
