Development within this field has the potential to contribute significantly towards a more sustainable society, and has an impact on issues such as health and pharmaceuticals, food production, waste water treatment and other environmental issues, as well as the production of chemicals. Lund University is highly ranked and one of the top 100 in the world. The university is among the leading universities in the world within biotechnology, and is home to several world-renowned scientists and highly knowledgeable and dedicated teachers. We have strong links to the industry from large multinational companies to smaller local operations borne out of research within our own departments.
The Masters in Biotechnology is a broad programme covering many different aspects of converting raw materials into products using biocatalysts (e.g. enzymes and microorganisms). Both the development of the biocatalyst and the conversion process are covered, as well as the role of biotechnology in a sustainable society. Nearly all of our courses include practical projects, which help to prepare our students for their final term Masters thesis. It is therefore recommended that students who apply to this programme have acquired laboratory skills during their Bachelors degree.
After completing the Masters in Biotechnology programme you will:
* Have achieved a high level of general skills in biotechnology in order to meet challenges in the field
* Have improved your communication skills during discussions and by practicing written and oral presentations
* Be able to suggest processing conditions for the industrial manufacturing of biotech products with regard to raw materials, convenience, energy and sustainability
Career prospectsDue to our close links with local and international industry, the Masters in Biotechnology programme is closely aligned to market needs, and there is a clear emphasis on the engineering aspects of biotechnology. During your studies you will meet not only researchers at the departments but also lecturers from biotech companies working with, for example, product development and marketing. Your future job could be anywhere in the world - with a small business, a large multinational company, a government authority, or a university. Our alumni move on to roles within research and development, process operations, product development and sales. The programme also provides an excellent foundation for continuing your studies at PhD level.
