Bioengineering
With a master in Bioengineering you will become a highly desired technical expert in macro- and molecular engineering of biological processes. With this profile, you position yourself amongst the transition of society towards sustainable production and in change from fossil to biomass raw materials. You will become an engineer of the future.

ACADEMIC CONTENT
The need of societies in balance in terms of use of resources, production of waste and impact on the environment is more urgent than ever. With the sustainability goals formulated by UN, a movement is finally taken up pace and will in the future increase the importance of creative and skilled engineers with expertise in biological processes.
Studying Bioengineering at AAU Esbjerg, you will obtain skills and competences in Bioenergy, Biotechnology and Bioprocesses. You can choose to profile yourself towards molecular biotechnology and learn to manipulate the genes in microorganisms to produce natural compounds of interest such as pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, electrolytes in batteries or many other applications of need in society. You can also profile yourself towards fermentation processes and the engineering of the complex biorefinery operations that transfer the compounds from a “good idea in the lab” into use in society – where it makes an actual difference.
With the newest theoretical knowledge and practical experimental experience, you will be able to design, dimension, operate, monitor and control the production of valuable biomass based products and make its biological production possible. With a course in “Life Science Companies – from Innovation to Industry” you will also learn what is needed for a creative idea to become good business! You learn to work, collaborate and navigate in an international academic environment often in close collaboration with industry. The programme give you the skill set for working in a globalised world and expose you to different cultures and ways of collaboration that will prepare you to life after graduation.
