Overview
About the Program
The biotechnology sector shows a constant growth in terms of turnover and number of highly specialized employees and is characterized by extremely large investments in R&D. The biotechnologist is a professional figure able to play high responsibility roles in development, management and control of research and production processes in different areas, such as, the pharmaceutical industry, the green chemistry, the agri-food and livestock sector, the environmental sector and the production of renewable energy.
The employment rate of graduates in the Biotechnology for the Bio-based and Health Industry program of the University of Insubria is very high, also because Lombardy is the Italian district with the highest concentration of biotechnological companies and thanks to the proximity of the biomedical cluster of the Canton Ticino (Swiss Confederation).
In addition, an international and up-to-date preparation, highly appreciated by the employment market, is reached through several collaborations with Italian and foreign research groups, the Erasmus+ and the Double Degree (in collaboration with the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague) programs.Programme Structure
