Biotechnology is the multitude of methods and techniques used in bio-industrial production processes or bio-genetic controlled processes with the purpose of vegetal, animal or human regeneration. It is seen as any technological application of bio-systems, living organisms and their derivate for the creation or modification of products and processes.
It has a great contribution to developments in areas like agriculture, food production and security, climate change and control through innovative usage of means provided by the natural environment in technological activity. Biotechnology can help solve some of the most pressing environmental issues, like oil spills, pesticide side effects or polluted water and thus it contributes to improving the environment.
Uppsala University offers a master programme in chemistry with a strong link to world-leading research. In this master programme, you have the opportunity to study in depth the specific area of chemistry in which you are most interested, as well as simultaneously broadening your knowledge of other subjects for an individual profile. You will also have the chance to do research practice in a research group within your study track.
Do you want to study in a cosmopolitan environment next to the centre of Copenhagen in one of Denmark’s most innovative private-public collaboration efforts on applied research of importance for innovative Danish and European enterprises? Do you want to develop new biotechnological solutions for tomorrow’s society? Are you interested in sustainability and renewable energy? Do you want an insight into biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and process engineering? If you answer yes to any of these questions, the education in sustainable biotechnology could be of your interest.
This is a multidisciplinary degree that brings together aspects of chemistry, biology and cell biology. The courses are carefully tailored to cover the knowledge gaps in fields such as gene therapy, drug design, genomics, proteomics, genetic engineering for plants, animals, micro-organisms, and bio-informatics.
Shortage in oil production and the high prices of its products as well as global concern on the environment and climate results in large investment in renewable resources of energy and materials in the world. It means, by other words, a huge job opportunities for the engineers in this field.
As competition policy becomes increasingly relevant in both the public and private sectors, there is a great need for professionals prepared to address market regulation issues.
Biotechnology is applied area of science embracing recombinant DNA technology, cellular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, process design, engineering, modeling and control.
Life sciences, including environmental and biotechnology, are one of the key industries of the 21st century, offering tremendous potential for growth, professional development and personal advancement. Innsbruck / Tyrol provides a highly competitive location through its excellently positioned universities, the Tyrolean Future Foundation, the Centre for Academic Spin-offs CAST, several innovative competence centres as well as a number of global players in the bioengineering industry.
The programme is organized by Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC), and the education is anchored around the research topics where UPSC researchers are world leaders, such as plant developmental biology, abiotic stress biology, forest biotechnology, wood formation and hormone biology.
In the Biology-Biotechnology MSc programme, you will work with biotechnological problems across traditional boundaries. Biotechnology is an international research area and an MSc in biotechnology will enable you to work with research laboratories all over the world. The programme also provides you with a background for participating in and understanding the viewpoints in the biotechnological debate.
University of Essex
Our Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology with English for Academic Purposes is designed for those who need to improve their language and academic skills, as well as their subject knowledge in biological sciences, before going onto a Masters course.
Goethe University Frankfurt Am Main
The Master’s program is designed as a consecutive program for graduates of a Bachelor's degree program in bioinformatics. The program is intentionally kept open to applicants who hold an equivalent qualification. A basic knowledge in bioinformatics, computer science, biology and mathematics is required and must be proven through the fulfillment of application criteria.
