Overview

Biotechnology at Carleton University focuses on biotechnology in the broadest sense, using living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify useful products.

Key facts

The program is course based but with a practical, experiential learning component. It will provide the necessary tools for entrepreneurial activity in biotechnology and encourage the translation of life-science knowledge into practical applications and career opportunities.

The program is student-centred: students will develop practical skills in biotechnology that they can apply to agriculture, forestry, environment, food, health, industry, etc., depending on their individual interests. The program integrates regional biotechnology companies and government agencies and thus builds on and develops new technology opportunities and business networks in eastern Ontario. Emphasis will be placed on providing students with the tools to establish their own startup companies.
