About the course

Biotechnology represents a vibrant field in modern biology, emphasizing a problem-solving approach that applies core knowledge from biological sciences to industrial and biomedical contexts. This includes developing new drugs and vaccines for disease treatment, innovative enzymes for healthcare, bio-control agents for agriculture, biosensors for environmental monitoring, and synthetic biology applications in industrial biotechnology and nanotechnology.On this programme, students explore key biological areas such as microbial biotechnology, genetic and cloning technologies, drug design, plant cell technology, synthetic biology, stem cells, and biological production methods. Biological sciences encompass the study of living organisms, from animal-environment interactions to gene expression. With 12 subject areas available, including biotechnology, students can initially sample various programmes and later specialize based on interest. The curriculum builds essential skills in data analysis, programming, problem-solving, communication, and independent thinking, preparing graduates to contribute as innovative scientific professionals.
