Описание программы обучения "Bioeconomics"

The bachelor’s degree program in Bioeconomy at the TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability incorporates various scientific disciplines in which the natural sciences work closely together with the economic sciences across disciplinary boundaries. Students gain an understanding of economics in general and environmental economics. This enables them to work with biological, chemical and technical principles and methods, as well as to think in and develop local and global cyclic processes. By combining chemistry, engineering and the life sciences with micro- and macroeconomics, students gain comprehensive knowledge in the field of efficient and sustainable use of biogenic resources.

Карьерные перспективы по завершению программы обучения "Bioeconomics"

Highly qualified graduates with inter- and transdisciplinary understanding are in demand for the rapidly growing areas of activity in Bioeconomics. Graduates of the bachelor’s program in Bioeconomics can support and shape a sustainable bio-based economy. This applies in particular to the complex conversion of the raw material base from fossil resources to the renewable resources of the energy and chemical industries, which deal with the production, use and economy of biogenic resources.

Ожидаемые результаты программы обучения "Bioeconomics"

Specifically, graduates of the bachelor's degree program in bioeconomics acquire the following knowledge, skills and competencies:

  • they understand economic processes and know models and methods to evaluate the effects of bio-based innovations on companies, the national economy and society; 
  • they understand environmental and resource economic issues and know methods and approaches to evaluate them in companies, national economy and society and to integrate them in decision making;
  • they master mathematical and scientific methods to abstract and analyze problems in their basic structure;
  • they have basic knowledge of natural sciences and engineering and know methods for analysis, modeling, simulation as well as design and are able to apply them to concrete problems;
  • they have insight into business processes and are able to evaluate the impact of economic policy decisions on business processes;
  • they are able to work successfully in a group, to work on problems together and to communicate their results and solution approaches successfully (also in front of an international audience); 
  • they are able to recognize inter- and transdisciplinary problems and to structure them taking into account the operational, economic as well as scientific framework conditions;
  • they are able to independently acquire new knowledge from the relevant subject areas;
  • hey have become acquainted with selected fields of technology and are thus able to bridge the gap between scientific and engineering fundamentals and economic policy recommendations;
  • they have acquired exemplary extracurricular qualifications and are thus sensitized to the non-technical requirements of a professional activity, especially in the area of political processes;
  • they are able to plan projects independently due to their interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of bioeconomy and are able to take up a correspondingly oriented professional activity in public administration, research, industry and consulting.

Учебный план программы обучения "Bioeconomics"

In the first two semesters, important mathematical, scientific as well as environmental and economic basics are taught. From the third semester on, knowledge from the main areas of chemistry, physics, biology and business administration / economics is intensified. In the fifth semester, a focus is set by means of elective modules. The tandem module combines two disciplines so that a solution to a concrete problem can be developed in a structured and interdisciplinary manner. The program concludes with a Bachelor's thesis.

1st semester: Mathematics, Statistics, Microeconomics, General Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Management

2nd semester: Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Green Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Supply Chain, Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment

3rd semester: Cell and Microbiology, Wood based Resources, Production of Biogenic Resources, Foundation of Programming, Intermediate Microeconomics, Entrepreneurship

4th semester: Introduction to Process Engineering, Empirical Research Methods, Policy and Innovation, Circular Economy, Introduction to Environmental and Resource Economics

5th semester: Bioprocess Engineering, Management Science, Electives (total 22 ECTS)
