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.

Explore how life works. Our life sciences program teaches you about the chemistry, biology, and physiology of diverse forms of life and prepares you for a career in the health sector.

The BSc (Biotechnology) program is an interdepartmental program with a particular emphasis on molecular biology, which is aimed at empowering students to pursue their interest in biotechnology. Undergraduate training includes exposure to aspects of biochemistry, genetics and microbiology, in addition to the other subjects of a student’s choice. Students are encouraged to decide on their postgraduate research direction during the course of their undergraduate studies and to choose their electives accordingly.

Agricultural biotechnology examines agriculture and the natural world, emphasizing the relationships between food production, the environment, science and society. The program focuses on the life sciences, with prominence given to the application of biotechnology in agriculture. It also delves into agriculture’s associated sectors including: government, policy development, farm production, environmental implications and agricultural sciences.

Our BSc degree course in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology aims to create the next generation of pharmaceutical scientists, able to work in all stages of the drug development process as part of a multidisciplinary team.

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.
