Academic Content
Waste water treatment and biorefinery production plants for recovery of valuable nutrients and biofuel production rely on biotechnology with regard to design and control of microbial and enzymatic processes. Inevitably, biotechnology is the key to a green and sustainable development of the World and our future lives.
Important theoretical and experimental areas of the Masters programme include microbial and cell cultures, bioactive molecules, experimental molecular biology and gene technology, genomics and bioinformatics.
The Biotechnology programme of Aalborg University is a full time study and you will experience that you spend most working hours at the university occupied with course teaching and experimental laboratory project work in groups with fellow students. During your Thesis project you will be involved in ongoing research and be part of a research group with faculty staff at the section of biotechnology.
