Master of Science in Biotechnology (Sustainable Biotechnologies) with Placement Year

Program Overview

Study the rapidly developing field of biotechnology and get ready for a career improving the sustainability of materials and chemical processes.

This course will give you an understanding of how the molecular and cellular mechanisms of biological systems can be utilised and manipulated to solve real-world biological problems. You'll gain the skills and expertise required for future developments in biotechnology, along with specialist knowledge in sustainable biotechnology.

Course specifics

From engineering crops that can cope with climate change for improved food security, to developing new biofuels for sustainable energy or mitigating fast-fashion with recyclable textile waste, sustainable biotechnology can dramatically help us improve life on our planet. Along with a core module in biotechnology, you'll study specific modules so you're ready to provide novel solutions to the challenges of the modern age:

  • 'Beer and Biofuels', looking at using fermentation for everything from improved food products to sustainable energy.
  • 'Food Security and the Environment', for instance engineering new sustainable pesticides to improve crop yields.
