Overview
Program description:
The Biochemical Engineer Bachelor of Sciences program offers a unique combination of a variety of studies which altogether provides a thorough background in the field of biotechnology. Our aim is to enable students to be competent in all fields of biotechnology by obtaining deep theoretical knowledge and also practical (engineering and technological) skills. Students will have their own experience in laboratory and manufacturing practices that a biochemical engineer may encounter in the everyday work. Students will get acquainted with the equipments and apparati used in the biotechnological industry and understand their optimal operation. Therefore, graduates can choose from a wide range of carrier opportunities in different areas in biotechnology according to their field of interest and to work either in theoretical or practical areas. They will also have opportunity to work in the field of research and development.
