About the field of study

Ecotechnologies and Bioprocesses is the only interdisciplinary field of study based on close cooperation with industry, which combines issues in industrial biotechnology, environmental engineering, closed-loop economy and eco-design. It was created for people who are interested in eco-friendly solutions, green technologies, planet and climate protection, bioenergy and sustainable development. Students design and develop process lines, and learn how to use microorganisms for environmental protection. They also acquire skills in waste management, biotransformation technologies, which are invaluable in the era of "zero waste," and learn innovative ways to use renewable energy sources.  

Their studies, as well as industrial internships, allow them to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to shape strategies for the processing of renewable natural resources, in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. Students also gain knowledge in the design of new industrial products, functional foods, energy and biofuels. They are also familiar with the legal and environmental aspects that they put into practice. Thanks to close cooperation with companies, they have the opportunity to visit modern industrial plants that implement the principles of the circular economy. Advanced knowledge combined with practice makes graduates of this field of study highly qualified engineers and valued experts on the job market. 

The study program is available at website.

About you

Ecotechnologies and bioprocesses are the perfect field of study for those who are still looking for new environmental solutions! 

Studying allows you to acquire competencies that enable you to engage in building an innovative economy. The program focuses on education based on modern technologies and educational methods, such as Case Study and Problem Based Learning. During your studies, you will not only gain a broad knowledge of biology and chemistry, but you will also learn methods of self-presentation and how to conduct scientific activities "online", which will be useful not only in the laboratory, but will also help you develop interpersonal skills. You will also learn how to obtain and manage national and European funds.  

Ecotechnologies and Bioprocesses field of study is also an opportunity for you to start working in your profession already during your studies. Internships and placements with industry partners will allow you to build good relationships with future employers and learn about the market from the inside. You will have the opportunity to complete internships not only at renowned scientific and industrial centers in the country, but also abroad, including Italy, Lithuania and Germany. Student research groups "Ferment" and "Biomass" operating at Lodz University of Technology are an additional advantage. These are research groups for all willing students who have enthusiasm for laboratory work in their blood. They will open up opportunities for you to work on original projects, conduct research in mobile laboratories, and organize events to promote your research.
