In the Biotechnology programme, you study living organisms on a molecular plane to understand how the organisms function and how you can use them in the production of foods (for example, beer, cheese, meats and grains), non-foods (for example, clothing, wood, paper and environment treatment), or medicine.
The techniques that are used in the biotechnology area are, for example fermentation, and animal breeding, but also gene technology and cloning.
The Biology-Biotechnology programme is based on a comprehension of molecular biology in biological systems. You will learn about how examine the chemistry and genetics of living organisms, and how you can manipulate an organism's genetic structure. All biological subject areas are included in the studies.
You can choose to specialise within animal biotechnology, plant biotechnology, microbial biotechnology or biological chemistry.
Teaching varies between problem-oriented project work in groups, as well as lectures, classroom instruction and exercises. Students are encouraged to actively participate in class discussions.

If you choose to complete the master degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Master of Science (MSc).
