Crop Biotechnology and Engineering (joint degree)

Crop Biotechnology and Engineering is about the sustainable, local production of healthy crops that can be used as food or as raw material in circular industries. Crop Biotechnology and Engineering (CBE) is the only programme of its kind in the Netherlands, offered by Maastricht University and Radboud University. It brings together expertise in plant physiology, molecular genetics, greenhouse technology, and sustainable agriculture. Both universities are based in one of Europe’s most advanced agricultural regions, linking this programme directly to real-world innovation through close collaboration with research institutes and industry partners. No matter if you are into biology, engineering, or data science; if you are curious about how science and tech can transform the way we grow food and if you are ready to help make it happen, this is the place to start!
