What to verify for this unit
- Use unit code 1001O7486 and the exact provider and location codes when checking the intended programme with its provider.
- Match VORM and VOERTAAL within the same contextual row, then check the current curriculum and teaching-language requirements with the provider.
- Check the original offering and intake dates below. An empty end date does not confirm an open intake or a current application deadline.

Each unit page groups only the original OPLEIDINGSEENHEIDCODE; an offering or location is not counted as a separate degree. The list does not cover every private provider or guarantee that applications are open.
Reported start, end and intake dates remain source evidence rather than a promise of current availability. A missing end date does not establish an open intake. Names, qualification labels, codes, languages and missing values remain in Dutch. No CIP equivalence, inferred admissions conditions or institution-name matches are added. Contextual offering records and source-name aliases are preserved together.

- The objective of the MSc programme Biosystems Engineering is to educate academic professionals who are able to solve technology related problems in the field of biosystems engineering. The emphasis of the programme is on acquiring in-depth knowledge, integrating knowledge, and the development of innovative technology and systems for a biobased society. \nTypical problems in protected cultivations are for example efficient organisation and transport of plants or products in a greenhouse, energy management, light management or management of the indoor climate. Energy is needed for crop growth but is also a major cost; light is needed too but too much artificial light hampers the environment. In animal production improving animal welfare and reduction of emissions are important issues. Similar issues play a role in the housing of companion and other non-production animals. Issues in the field of arable farming are for example fertilisation, crop protection, soil quality, and environmental impact. In the biobased society there is still a growing need for renewable resources, either for energy or as resource for the industry. Optimisation of production chains, integration of consumer demands, food safety, or handling perishable products is becoming more and more important. For all these areas the availability of qualified labour at reasonable costs is a main point of concern. All these issues in the domain of biosystems have in common that technology plays a very important role in solving these problems. \nThe study programme is an individually tailor made thesis oriented programme. The students are introduced to technology development and engineering of systems for a biobased society, the design of innovative biosystems, and the quantitative evaluation of these innovative biosystems. The thesis can be chosen from different important disciplines within agricultural and biosystems engineering: agricultural engineering (soil technology, greenhouse technology, livestock technology, bioproduction automation), system and control (simulation, process control, robotics, system identification), information technology (databases, simulation, software engineering, information systems), operations research and logistics (agrologistics), biobased commodity chemicals (biobased technology and process engineering), and environmental engineering (biological recycling technology, renewable energy). The students are also trained in consulting on academic level and working in a multidisciplinary team.
