Biological Resources, MSc

About

The world's natural resources are limited and slowly being depleted, resulting in a growing demand for skilled specialists who can contribute to the re-purposing of existing resources and the discovery of new ones. The primary goal of Biological Resources MSc is to enhance your understanding of soil, plant, animal, and marine resources and inspire you, as a sustainability specialist, to devise new ways to make use of these resources, thus supporting the development of a biobased economy. Over the course of your studies, you will acquire the expertise needed to recognise and utilise biological resources in terms of their economic potential, while also taking into consideration critical ecological and social constraints. To that end, the degree programme combines the advanced study of the natural sciences with relevant interdisciplinary subjects such as engineering and socio-economics to impart to you the knowledge and the critical eye to evaluate the future potential of certain biological resources in a scientific manner. This expertise is crucial in countless real-world applications, for example in the development of "biobased products" such as bioenergy, biopackaging, bioplastic, or new sources of food, to name a few. Close research cooperation with many companies in the Lower Rhine region affords you the unique chance to acquire valuable practical experience within the bioeconomy during your studies.
