Specialisation Process Technology
Process Technology focuses on engineering strategies for enhancing or improving production in fermentation, bioconversion and enzymatic synthesis or degradation. The whole chain, from the development of a process on laboratory scale until the application at a large scale, can be studied in this specialisation. Knowledge and skills from this specialisation can be applied in food biotechnology, medicine and vaccine development as well as in environmental and biobased technology.
You will take one year of courses, some compulsory and others optional. In the second year of the MSc you will perform two research projects: a major thesis at Wageningen University and a second research project or internship inside or outside Wageningen.
