Will I get in
Admission goes through an aptitude assessment: the university checks how well the subjects, credits and grades of your previous education fit the programme. There is no fixed cut-off — the assessment is comparative.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

A major academic focus is the use of biomolecules and biocatalysts for sustainable chemical processes, biorefining concepts, and the circular economy. Early access to research is a core feature of the program: students are encouraged to join research projects from the first semesters and conduct their own research work in the third year.
