B.Sc. Biotechnology

A course in Biotechnology generally aims to produce scientists who will be able to contribute to a range of career opportunities including academic, commercial, industrial and healthcare applications of biotechnology.
The course is made up mostly of laboratory work, computer applications and research. On a typical morning you might be analysing DNA on a gel and in the afternoon using a fomenter to produce commercial products. One day you might be learning about how microbes can clean up pollution and on another day you get to visit a company that researches new anti-cancer drugs. Students gain a wide range of laboratory-based skills and techniques, which both provide the practical basis for their studies and provide a useful portfolio of employable skills. These skills, plus associated research experience gained in the final year project, will enable you to establish yourself in medical, industrial and research laboratories.

The BSc / MSc in Biotechnology provides a firm basis for pursuing a career in any aspect of science involving biotechnology. This could involve the food, pharmaceutical or environmental sectors, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, nanobiotechnology, use of microbes, DNA vaccines, production of new materials using new ideas, new drug-delivery systems, organ transplantation, rational drug design, nutraceuticals, plant-based drugs, enzyme engineering and technology, stem cell techniques, and tissue culture. Biotechnologists can find employment in a wide range of industries like food processing, breweries and pharmaceuticals.
