Biotechnology

The BSc in Biotechnology provides students with the theoretical and practical foundations necessary to understand and apply technologies for producing biological products in industrial and scientific contexts. The programme covers general disciplines like mathematics, physics, and statistics, while offering in-depth, integrated study of biological, chemical, and bioinformatics sciences.

This degree is ideal for those passionate about scientific and technological advancements and seeking a career rooted in the biological sciences. The course is structured over three years, comprising 180 ECTS credits, and includes classroom lectures and hands-on laboratory work. In the third year, students complete a 150-hour internship, either within the university's Department of Science and Technology or at external research or industrial institutions.

The programme strongly encourages international mobility through European Union projects, allowing students to take exams or complete internships at partner universities abroad. Admission requires a high school diploma (or equivalent) and participation in a mandatory orientation test, which does not affect enrollment.

The course is inclusive, providing specific support and pathways for students with disabilities. The degree culminates in a thesis, leading to the title of "Bachelor in Biotechnology." Graduates can pursue further studies or enter the workforce, with career opportunities in sectors such as agro-food, bio-health, chemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, scientific communication, and environmental protection.
