Our three DMSB graduates Dennis Beuting, Franz Boeltzig and Jost Sühwold (from left to right) presented their project work to an interested professional audience at the 46th Milling Conference in Volkach at the end of October.

New lecturers strengthen the pedagogical team at the Deutsche Müllerschule Braunschweig (DMSB) and accompany the implementation of the new framework guidelines for the two-year technical colleges. These focus more on modular learning and standardised degrees.

At the beginning of the current semester, several new lecturers are taking up their work at the DMSB. The reinforcement of the pedagogical team comes at an ideal time: at the end of the current academic year, teaching will take place...

All DMSB students set to graduate at the end of the 2020/2021 academic year were again able to sign up companies from the industry to sponsor their projects – despite the corona pandemic.

The results were presented as planned on 11 June 2021, however not at a completely public event as in all previous years, bar 2020, but at an “internal” event attended by the project partners involved, first-year students and teaching staff.

Following last year’s positive experience, this event was again...

Despite the corona pandemic, 1 female and 13 male technicians were awarded their graduation diplomas as newly state-certified "mill construction, grain processing and animal feed technology technicians" on July 10.

Because of the pandemic, it was unfortunately not feasible to stage project presentations by this year’s DMSB graduating class in their usual public event format at the ComCenter in Salzdahlumer Strasse.

However, their findings - an integral part of these...
