What is biotechnology?

Biotechnology is a subject that combines biological science and technology to develop innovative products by changing the genetic make-up of biological cells. Biotechnology impacts on the quality of our lives and the world we live in.

Biotechnologists tackle global issues in healthcare, energy, environment, food, and agriculture to:

• develop new life-saving medicines
• feed growing populations by generating plants with better nutritional value
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing cleaner biofuels

What you’ll study

In the first three years of this integrated masters degree you will be introduced to the fundamental aspects of biotechnology, genetic manipulations, and cellular processes relating to plants, microbes and animals. In the final year you will do a research project on ground-breaking research topics addressing global challenges.

• microbial biotechnology – learn how to apply microorganisms to food, the environment, and medicine
• plant biotechnology – enhance the nutritional value of plants and develop more resistant crops
• animal biotechnology – understand animal nutrition, growth and welfare, and how biotech can be used to develop new disease treatments

Throughout the degree you can choose the aspects of biotech that interest you most.

Topics include:

• genes and cells
• analysis of gene expression
• molecular pharming
• microbiology and immunology
• genomes and gene editing techniques
• protein expression
• ethics of biotechnology
• animal physiology and biotechnology
