Biotechnology, BSc (Hons)

Biotechnology integrates biological sciences and technology to create innovative products by altering the genetic makeup of cells, profoundly impacting quality of life and global challenges in healthcare, energy, environment, food, and agriculture. Biotechnologists develop life-saving medicines, enhance crop nutrition to feed growing populations, and produce cleaner biofuels to reduce emissions.This accredited degree, endorsed by the Royal Society of Biology, covers microbial, plant, and animal biotechnology, including gene editing, molecular pharming, microbiology, immunology, protein expression, and ethics. Students access specialist labs for gene cloning and sequencing, learn from field experts, and may add a study abroad, industry, or computer science year. Opportunities include semesters at partner universities worldwide, fostering adventures, connections, and career prospects.
