Bachelor's Degree In Wood and Natural Fiber Technology
Program overview
The aim of the bachelor's degree is to impart competence in wood and other renewable raw materials, their use and processing into intelligent, innovative materials and products.
Most of the raw materials processed today are only available to a limited extent. Wood and natural fibers can, however, be made available sustainably in large quantities and are characterized by the fact that they can be returned to nature's cycle. The study of wood and natural fiber technology imparts the necessary knowledge and skills to use technical and economic possibilities for processing and refining wood and other renewable raw materials into intelligent materials, market-ready final products as well as for modeling value chain.
