Brewing Science (B.Eng.)

The bachelors study program in Brewing Science 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 science, such as microbiology and chemistry. You acquire versatile knowledge about the biotechnological processes in malt and beer manufacture. You also gain the technical foundation necessary for a comprehensive understanding of technical processes and relationships.

This new bachelors study program in Brewing Science is highly practical with a strong emphasis on application. Unlike in the bachelors program in Brewing and Beverage Technology, mathematics and technology do not play a primary role in the curriculum. Instead, the program has a more significant internship and compulsory elective component. This includes a transdisciplinary compulsory elective, a subject-specific compulsory elective component, as well as a basic and technical internship with a complementary seminar. This allows students a high degree of flexibility when shaping their studies.

Our graduates possess a knowledge of both brewing science as well as basic principles of natural science and engineering. They are additionally well versed in the different working methods and approaches utilized in engineering.

As for every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply. Generally, this is the Abitur. 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 Science 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. This is a prerequisite for admission. Knowledge of English is useful as some courses/modules are also offered in English. However, it is not a condition for admission to studies.

Basic principles of engineering and current specialist knowledge from brewing technology make up a significant portion of the curriculum. For this reason, you should have an interest in as well as a comprehensive understanding of natural science and technology. It is particularly useful if you took advanced courses in natural science, engineering, or technology in school.
