University Master's Degree in Fermented Beverages - 9th edition

Covid 19 update: We might move face-to-face classes to an online format if the latest developments in the health emergency make this necessary.

The overall objective of this master's degree is to train students to become researchers and professionals in the field of fermented beverages, especially wine, sparkling wine and beer.

It offers three clear professional specialisations:

• Oenology research: This specialisation trains future researchers in the field of oenology and food biotechnology and gives students the chance to go on to do a doctoral programme.
• Science and technology of sparkling wines: This specialisation trains future professionals in oenology or viticulture who wish to specialise in the production of sparkling wine, a sector that is widely represented in Catalonia. This specialisation is not offered from course 2021-22.
• Science and technology of beer: This specialisation trains professionals from different fields (biotechnologists, winemakers, engineers, etc.) in the process of brewing different types of beer on an industrial and artisanal scale.

Students also have the option of not choosing a particular specialisation and doing a more general master’s degree, which is broader in scope and combines both esearch and professional objectives.
