Biotechnology

Lund University is among the leading universities in the world for research and education in biotechnology. It is home to several world-renowned scientists who have strong links to the industry – from large multinational companies to small enterprises based on research done in our departments.

The Master’s in Biotechnology is a broad programme covering scientific and technological aspects of biotechnology tools and processes for sustainable manufacturing of bioproducts, for biomedicine and environmental remediation. The students have the possibility to choose among courses oriented towards molecular biotechnology providing knowledge and skills in recombinant gene expression, engineering of proteins and metabolic pathways, and bioprocess development giving insights into fermentation- and enzyme technology, product recovery and analysis, and process and plant design.

To prepare our students for their final semester Master’s thesis, nearly all our courses include practical exercises. It is therefore recommended that students who apply to this programme have acquired laboratory skills during their Bachelor’s degree.
