B.Sc.
Overview
The Bachelor's program Brewing and Beverage Technology covers both scientific and engineering aspects of brewing beer and general beverage production. Further central contents are quality assurance, general operating technology and business administration in the beverage industry. Topics are e.g.:
- Purchasing and assessment of raw materials
- Organization and optimization of various production steps for the manufacture of beverages
- Implementation of quality assurance systems
- New construction or conversion of production plants and supply facilities
- Control of analytical and sensory product properties
- Development of new beverages
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
Graduates of the Bachelor's program Brewing and Beverage Technology are able to …
- produce beverages and to test them analytically and sensory
- understand and monitor manufacturing processes
- plan brewery plants
- apply fermentation techniques for the production of beer
- select and test raw materials for beverage production
- analyze the economic efficiency of manufacturing processes
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Most students continue their studies after completing the Bachelor's degree with the consecutive Master's degree in Brewing and Beverage Technology. Graduates find jobs mainly in the beverage industry, breweries or malting plants, but also in the food and chemical industries, as well as in plant construction. The possible tasks in the later occupation could be:
