The programme imparts the multidisciplinary knowledge necessary for students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire brewing process.
The course emphasises the fundamentals of chemistry, biochemistry and brewing microbiology as an essential basis for optimal process utilization.
The diversity of participating professors, whose university and/or industry careers are international in scope, guarantees an array of complementary
approaches.
Another major asset is the programme's placement of students in a laboratory where they make multiple outside contacts and experience the cutting edge
of brewing research.
Completing a research internship sponsored by an industrialist, visiting companies and sharing experiences with students of diverse origins allow
students to settle on a career path leading to the fulfilment of their goals.
