Master in Biological Resources MSc

The Biological Resources MSc at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences focuses on soil, plant, animal, and marine resources, and trains students to assess and develop biological resources within a biobased economy. The programme combines natural science study with interdisciplinary subjects including engineering and socio-economics, giving students the analytical tools to evaluate both the economic potential and the ecological and social constraints of biological resources. Running over three semesters with intake in both winter and summer, the programme covers real-world applications such as bioenergy, biopackaging, bioplastic, and new food sources. Teaching methods include applied research projects, excursions, and laboratory and field work. Research cooperation with companies in the Lower Rhine region provides practical exposure to the bioeconomy during the programme. The degree is offered at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences in Kleve, Germany.
