Bachelor of Engineering in Biotechnology
Our Bachelor Program of Engineering in Biotechnology combines biology, chemistry and science of engineering
During the studies you will learn to apply in depth knowledge of biochemical and biotechnological processes according to production of drugs (medicine), food industry and environmental challenges.
You will get acquainted with methods used in the field of biotechnology of industrial production.
You will also obtain knowledge of engineering principles relevant to the processing of materials by microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses) or plant and animal cells to create useful products or industrial processes.
Program structure
The degree focuses on biotechnology, for example how cells are used as small factories in the production of medicine and foodstuffs, or how they are used in purification of wastewater or converting waste into energy - biofuels.
You will gain theoretical knowledge within biotechnology and will be working with the following disciplines:
- Cell and microbiology
- Biotechnology and protein chemistry
- General and technical chemistry
- Mathematics and statistics
Moreover, you will get acquainted with a line of technical subjects such as chemical unit operations, practical regulation, fermentation and chemical reaction engineering.
From the very beginning of your education, you will start bridging theory and practice, integrating obtained theoretical knowledge with real-life professional practice. Our Bachelor of Engineering program is based on the close cooperation with local companies – bio manufactory market leaders such as Novo Nordisk, Novozymes, Statoil, DONG etc.
The last year of studies includes a mandatory internship, elective courses and bachelor thesis which provide you with a unique opportunity to tailor these activities in close collaboration with the companies.
