BA/BS in Biotechnology

The first-cycle engineering programme combines biology, chemistry, genetics and modern technology in practical, laboratory-based study. Students learn how living organisms work at cell and DNA level and how to apply that knowledge in medicine, food production, industry and environmental protection. Classes cover DNA analysis, culture of microorganisms and cells, enzyme use in processes, food processing technology, food quality analysis and sensory evaluation. The programme leads to a first-cycle engineering degree. Graduates can work in food processing and packaging, quality control laboratories, research and development centres in the food industry, and in companies designing production lines.
