Course overview
This four year program, incorporating an honours year, provides comprehensive training in all aspects of the multi-disciplinary field of biotechnology. Biotechnology is used for the production of pharmaceuticals, food and industrial chemicals, in the development of improved crops and livestock for farming, for environmental clean-up, and in forensics. Modern biotechnology makes practical use of the most recent scientific advances. Our ability to cope with many of the world's medical, environmental, agricultural and manufacturing problems in the 21st century will depend heavily on advances in biotechnology. This degree is for bright, enterprising students who want to change the world we live in.
