M.Sc. (Biotechnology)
Our Master of Science programme is a versatile degree that provides students with the optimal balance between a defined sequence of study and flexible course options.
Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts. Biotechnology is the science for this century drawing upon the sciences of biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, computers, and information technology to develop next generation scientific breakthroughs and products.
Our unique programme will give you an understanding of the basis of Plant Tissue Culture Technology, Bioinformatics, Genomics as well as Animal, Food, Agriculture and Forest Biotechnology.
