Biotechnology is a Bachelor's Degree programme in Carleton University's Faculty of Science, applying principles of chemistry, biochemistry and biology to study and engineer living organisms or their parts. Key application areas covered include genetic and metabolic engineering, designer drugs, novel foods, regenerative medicine, and applied microbiology and fermentation. The programme emphasizes hands-on training in up-to-date laboratory techniques alongside entrepreneurial skills and regulatory compliance knowledge, delivered through project-based courses that integrate scientific knowledge, problem-solving, ethical and regulatory awareness, and data analysis. This combination of laboratory science and applied business-relevant skills is intended to prepare students for the practical and commercial sides of biotechnology work. Graduates are prepared for roles in medicine, agriculture, environmental systems and industry that draw on the engineering of biological systems and processes developed throughout the degree.
