Biotechnology is a subject that combines biological science and technology to develop innovative products by changing the genetic make-up of biological cells. Biotechnology impacts on the quality of our lives and the world we live in.
Biotechnologists tackle global issues in healthcare, energy, environment, food, and agriculture to:
In the first three years of this integrated masters degree you will be introduced to the fundamental aspects of biotechnology, genetic manipulations, and cellular processes relating to plants, microbes and animals. In the final year you will do a research project on ground-breaking research topics addressing global challenges.
Throughout the degree you can choose the aspects of biotech that interest you most.
Industries that need biotechnologists include:
You can work in research and development (R&D), quality, operations, sales and business development.
You could specialise in one area, which could include:
