This program leads to a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Biotechnology, an Honours stream within Biology offered full-time or part-time at the Keele Campus. Students combine core coursework in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics and biochemistry with courses drawn from computer science, economics, business and ethics, reflecting biotechnology's position at the intersection of life sciences and industry. Laboratory and analytical skills build across the degree and culminate in a required honours thesis course, giving students first-hand experience in independent research and current laboratory technique. Entry is available in the fall, winter and summer terms for both first-year and upper-year students. The program suits students seeking a science degree with applied, industry-relevant electives alongside standard biology training, preparing graduates for careers or further study in biotechnology, genetics and biochemistry-related fields.
