This triple degree programme is called “Sustainable Biomass and Bioproducts Engineering (SBBE)". After completing the programme, a student will receive three degrees from three universities: Master of Science in Technology (LUT), Master of Chemical and Process Engineering (WUST), and Master of Chemical Engineering (UCLM).

The coordinating institution of this triple degree is Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland.

Students are admitted through open admission. Students start studies at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (WUST), 1st Semester, Poland, continue to University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), 2nd Semester, Spain and Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (LUT), 3rd Semester. 4th semester is reserved for Master's Thesis.
