1. Program Overview
Biotechnology is the fastest-growing research and development sector in the world. A Master's in Biotechnology involves studies of molecules, cells, and organisms aiming to understand how biological processes work. MSc in Biotechnology will play an essential role in creating and developing methods of production for biomolecules such as vaccines, antibiotics, enzymes, biopolymers, biofuels, and many others. The program aims to educate and create global human resources with high qualities in the specialization and the abilities to scientifically research and use English to meet the global human resources requirements. The master's aims to form managerial R&D staff of international standards for biotechnology companies, universities, and research institutions and open the way to realize a PhD.
