MSc Bioeconomy at University of Hohenheim

Programme overview

During the interdisciplinary programme that looks at the entire bio-based value chain and networks, students examine the ecological, social, and economic dimensions of the bioeconomy on a micro and macro-level. At the same time, they learn to consider the requirements for innovations that need to come from the organisations working in the bio-based economy as well as the corresponding political framework conditions.

In addition, in several compulsory modules students learn information and methods necessary for a systematic analysis of the bio-based economy.
