Overview
About the Programme
The Agri-Food Technology and Biotechnology programme of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia arose as the result of the academic collaboration between the Barcelona School of Agricultural Engineering (ESAB) and the UPC that aimed to delve into studies and research in the agri-food field.
The main objective of the programme is to train specialists in research techniques that are specific to the fields of agricultural and food-related technology and biotechnology.
These specialists should be able to implement and carry out the most advanced and most technologically competitive techniques and protocols in their fields. Finally, these specialists should be able to form part of the business world as academics and be renowned worldwide.
