Bioeconomics

About

The bachelor's degree program in Bioeconomy at the TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability incorporates various scientific disciplines in which the natural sciences work closely together with the economic sciences across disciplinary boundaries. Students gain an understanding of economics in general and environmental economics. This enables them to work with biological, chemical and technical principles and methods, as well as to think in and develop local and global cyclic processes. By combining chemistry, engineering and the life sciences with micro- and macroeconomics, students gain comprehensive knowledge in the field of efficient and sustainable use of biogenic resources.

For a comprehensive description of the program, please refer to the degree program documentation:

Sustainability and environmental protection are becoming increasingly important – in industry, society, politics, education and research. Bioeconomics strives toward the transition from fossil to biogenic raw materials.
