Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules, and ions: their composition, structure, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances. Biotechnology is the application of biology to the solution of real-life challenges, where an element of profit is a prerequisite. The two disciplines are connected by their molecular approach and by their vast commercial importance.

The aim of BSc studies in biotechnology is to acquire basic knowledge of the molecular basis of biological phenomena and processes through learning mathematics, statistics, chemistry, physics, as well as molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, the biology of the cell and biotechnology, and acquisition of deeper knowledge in the biochemistry of proteins, carbohydrates and lipid compounds, their structures, and functions, as well as their metabolisms.

Si te gusta investigar y pasar tiempo en un laboratorio, la carrera de Biotecnología te apasionará. La biotecnología combina las ciencias de la vida con la ingeniería para obtener nuevos productos o servicios a partir de sistemas biológicos (microorganismos, células animales y vegetales, o partes de ellas como enzimas, anticuerpos o sistemas génicos).

The Bachelor of Engineering in Biotechnology programme combines biology, chemistry and science of engineering in close collaboration with international biotech companies, such as Novo Nordisk, Novonesis, Unibio and more.

The Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology bachelor degree programme prepares you for one of the fastest growing fields of research in the world.

The Bachelor's Degree in Biosciences and Biotechnology is an interclass degree: it consists of a common first year, where the student is provided with a solid base in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and cell biology, followed by a second and third year when the student follows either the program leading to the Biology or Biotechnology degree.

Advance your career with our Industrial Biotechnology degree, focusing on bioprocess engineering, microbiology, and molecular biology. Specialize in pharmaceutical, environmental biotech, or bioinformatics. Gain essential skills to tackle global food challenges and drive sustainable innovation.

Get ready for one of the sectors with the greatest impact on economies around the world. With the Degree in Biotechnology from Universidad Loyola you will be able to contribute to solving the great challenges facing humanity, from the development of new medicines and vaccines to the reduction of hunger in the world by improving the efficiency and quality of crops with techniques such as genetic engineering, or with the introduction of new healthy ingredients, probiotics and prebiotics in foods that improve their nutritional properties.

Biotechnology is the use of biological components and/or processes to tackle human problems. Most often, biotechnological solutions come in the form of products or tools. The Biotechnology Degree Program at JMU leverages the strengths of three founding departments—Biology, Chemistry, and Biochemistry—and Integrated Science and Technology. It also incorporates two colleges—Science and Mathematics and Integrated Science and Engineering—to provide a unique program with both scientific and technical depth and cross-disciplinary breadth. Students undertake a rigorous curriculum, rich with three critically important areas: hands-on laboratory experiences; critical analyses of both the how and the why of biotechnological solutions; and the development of transferable skills to keep up in a rapidly changing field.

The Academic Program in BSc in Biotechnology offered by the Faculty of Pharmacy leads to the degree of Biotechnologist. The program provides a deep theoretical understanding of natural sciences with hands-on experience in cutting-edge technologies in biotechnology. The diploma issued by the Faculty of Pharmacy is accepted by all European Union member states and several other countries. The program aims to educate students to become immediately employable after graduation, hence industrial or research laboratory placements for sufficient work experience are integral parts of the program. Using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques students can also experience laboratory research and have a great variety of further education possibilities to choose from in medical, pharmaceutical, environmental, and food biotechnology.

Do you want to contribute to the transition to a circular economy? Then the unique new Maastricht bachelor's program in Circular Engineering is the perfect choice for you: the engineer of the future. The bachelor in Circular Engineering combines a rigid engineering foundation with in-depth knowledge and skills in one of three engineering concentrations while focusing on sustainability throughout the curriculum.

In the Degree in Biotechnology, it is a degree whose objective is to train students to acquire knowledge of chemical engineering, biological systems or molecular biology, among others.

The subject opens up to a broader view of life sciences and provides knowledge, application, and the improvement of biological laws in nature to create useful products in life. The COVID-19 pandemic is a crucial premise for emphasizing the significance of the Biotechnology program in supporting the process of re-establishing a safe condition in a new situation through the invention of vaccines prevention, COVID-19 treatment drugs, research and production of biochemical test kits, PCR, etc.

Learn from biology! Think like a chemist! Act as an engineer! The interdisciplinary bachelor's in Chemical Biotechnology at TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability.

Biotechnology is the application of biological organisms, cells, or molecules to produce a product or service for the betterment of humankind. This area of study includes aspects of molecular biology, microbiology, cell biology, biochemistry, and genetic engineering, among other related disciplines.
