About this programme

Biosystems Engineering is a multi-disciplinary academic programme that fulfils the needs of mankind in terms of sustainable food, feed, fuels, fibres and chemicals. The Biosystems Engineering bachelor programme prepares students to address aspects of the question "How to sustainably feed 10 billion people in 2050?". Knowing how a system behaves and performs is based on models; this requires a solid foundation in mathematics, statistics and physics. From day one students learn to adopt systems thinking: they learn to identify the different functions in a biosystem as well as the engineering aspects of technology that fulfil these functions. Systems engineering, sensing, data collection and (statistical) data analysis, modelling, control and information engineering form the engineering basis. Solutions should also meet the needs of society. Students therefore acquire a fundamental knowledge and understanding of the interaction between technology and society or economics. Biosystems Engineering addresses challenges arising in systems or a chain of systems containing living organisms and products that are perishable, ripening and subject to decay. So it investigates, develops and combines knowledge and methods from technical sciences with biological, environmental, agricultural and social sciences. To address such complex problems teamwork is necessary. Therefore students learn how to work in teams and to communicate effectively.
