Brewing and Beverage Technology (B.Sc.)

Modern brewing and beverage technology is a complex, interdisciplinary field that incorporates a wide variety of sectors. This includes the manufacture of beer and other beer-based products, brewing technology and the corresponding facilities and systems, and the further development of analytical methods to ensure product quality. The bachelors study program offers you both a well-founded and professionally-oriented education and preparation for a transdisciplinary field of work, which combines applications from engineering, such as metrology and regulation engineering, mechanical engineering, and thermodynamics, with natural sciences, such as microbiology, genetics, and chemistry. In this program you gain a diverse yet comprehensive knowledge of the biotechnological processes of malt and beer manufacture, as well as the technical principles for a comprehensive understanding of technical processes and relationships.

As a graduate of the Brewing and Beverage Technology bachelors program, you possess a detailed education in natural science, for example in microbiology, biochemistry, and genetics, as well as thorough knowledge gained in the fields of engineering sciences and modern analytics. Additionally, the study program provides you with an understanding of the relationships between the fields of brewing and beverage technology.

Every bachelors degree program at TU Berlin requires applicants to possess a university entrance qualification certificate. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications.

The Brewing and Beverage Technology bachelors program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. Knowledge of English is useful as some course/modules are also offered in English. However, it is not a condition for admission to studies.

Material from engineering, natural science, and math make up a significant component of the curriculum. It is recommended that students already possess a fundamental knowledge of technology and the natural sciences. It is particularly useful if you took advanced courses in these subjects in school as this can ease your start at university. As the curriculum has a strong interdisciplinary orientation, you should also possess an interest in interdisciplinary topics and fields of work.
