Biotechnology

Does a career at the cutting edge of science appeal to you? Would you like to broaden your experience in a diverse range of Biotechnology and laboratory techniques? Here's your chance! The exchange programme Biotechnology gives you insight into a quickly evolving research area, which offers many chances for innovative research.

The programme focuses on the quickly evolving research area biotechnology, and is part of the bachelor programme Biology and Medical Research. This practice-based programme in Biotechnology will be focusing on topics such as microbial production, renewable energy and specific growth conditions in more detail.

Besides the theoretical modules, there is a strong emphasis on the practical execution of a research project during the laboratory courses. During these laboratory courses the students work as independent couples on designated research projects, that are usually part of ongoing research done at the knowledge institutes of Hanze University of Applied Sciences. For instance, in the past students have worked on the production of bioplastics, biogas production and the influence of growth of plants with different light wavelengths.
