Sustainable Environmental and Bioprocess Engineering
New bachelor’s program at the UAS Technikum Wien: Start of studies in 2024/25.
The application deadline for applicants within the EU is May 31, 2025, for applicants outside the EU March 31, 2025.
Two key technologies for a sustainable future
By applying bioprocess engineering, biological systems such as organisms or parts thereof are used to produce, for example, biobased chemicals, complex active ingredients for medicine or products for the food industry. Environmental engineering contributes to solving environmental problems, improving resource efficiency and reducing the ecological footprint of industry and society. Core areas include waste, water and wastewater management, and soil and air pollution control. The Sustainable Environmental and Bioprocess Engineering program not only combines these key technologies, but also places a special emphasis on the application of life-cycle thinking, including material flow management and a holistic view of the life cycle of products and processes.
Background
Starting in 2024/25, the UAS Technikum Wien will create a foundation for the established Master’s program in Ecotoxicology & Environmental Management with this new Bachelor’s program, as well as for a career in attractive industries and professional fields. Here, competencies around the existing Master’s program can be drawn upon. Current findings from research projects on microplastics, the influence of endocrine disruptors on the environment, or life cycle thinking are to be directly incorporated into teaching. Competencies that have been built up in the research focus Tissue Engineering & Molecular Life Science Technologies will also flow directly into teaching.
„“Our new bachelor’s program combines two future technologies into an attractive basic degree program.”“
