Overview

Major developments in the field occur every day, with many introduced by academic and professional communities before the greater public is even aware of industry advancements.

What you will study

At the School of Engineering, you’ll join in these exciting discoveries. Course topics range from industrial application of enzymes and bio-polymer synthesis to modern drug design and the role of biotechnology in health care. The availability of various and varied electives enables you to specialize in selected biotechnology areas. The program also includes a guided study to develop analytical skills.
