The Faculty of Food Science of the UWM in Olsztyn, in collaboration with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Process Engineering of the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg, offers an opportunity to take up full-time, 3-semester, second degree master studies in the Food technology and human nutrition, in the field of food engineering.

General information

A Master’s program (MPE) allows you to earn a double Polish-German diploma of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn (Poland) and the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg (Germany).

The program provides a comprehensive coverage of bioprocess and food manufacturing systems engineering. This course focuses on problems related to food and bioprocess engineering, enzymology, food quality, technical microbiology, process development, process control and advanced manufacturing systems providing theoretical and practical knowledge needed in the food industry. After graduation students acquire skills demanded by employers, for the development of food processes and products.

 Organization

The program takes three semesters to complete: the first semester at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, the second semester at the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg, and the third semester (Master thesis) is conducted either at one of the participating universities or externally at a suitable company or research institution.

 Requirements

The candidate must have completed a first degree in higher education equivalent to a bachelor’s degree in engineering (210 ECTS) in one of the following areas: food technology and human nutrition, chemical and process engineering, bioengineering of food production, biotechnology, gastronomy, environmental engineering, environmental protection, commodity, agronomy or similar.

The admission procedure requires the Bachelor's Degree Diploma with a transcript of records.

Admission procedure is based on the ranking of the final result of the first degree studies within the enrolment limit.

 Language: All teaching classes are conducted exclusively in English.

Fee: The studies are free of charge. A registration fee of 85 PLN applies.

Professional degree obtained: M.Sc. Eng. (Master of Science in Engineering)

Accommodation: dormitories on the University Campus.

Scholarships: while studying in Germany, you may receive an Erasmus+ scholarship; additionally, if you are a Polish citizen, you can apply for a scholarship from the Maria and George Dietrich Foundation. For your stay in Poland, you can apply for scientific scholarships.
