BA/BS in Biotechnologie

The Bachelor programme in biotechnology teaches how biological systems function and how they can be put to technical use. Students learn to turn laboratory research into processes that serve medical, industrial and environmental purposes. Early modules cover general and inorganic chemistry, microbiology, genetics, molecular biology, organic chemistry and sequence-based bioinformatics, supported by mathematics and scientific English. Later, students choose a focus in molecular diagnostics or environmental biotechnology and deepen their knowledge in the direction that suits them. Practical work takes place in well-equipped laboratories, with practicals held in small groups. Lecturers support students personally on methodological questions and encourage independent scientific thinking throughout the degree. Graduates are prepared for work in research laboratories, diagnostic services and companies that apply biological processes in production.
