- Description/content
- In addition to five compulsory subjects, two specialisations are offered: the Major in Social Sciences and Sustainability or the major in Natural Sciences and Engineering. Students who have already completed a combination of economics with engineering and natural sciences in their Bachelor’s programme (for example, successful graduates of the BSc Bioeconomy or the BSc Sustainable Management and Technology) and who are aiming for a further technical-scientific specialisation can choose a larger number of modules from the technical-scientific area. They then complete the Master’s in Bioeconomy with a Major in Natural Sciences and Engineering. Graduates who prefer a stronger focus on economics and social sciences can complete the Master’s in Bioeconomy with a Major in Social Sciences and Sustainability.
