Course Details

Biotechnology (Aalborg)

Course Description

Biotechnology at Aalborg University, Denmark, combines biology, chemistry, medicine, and engineering sciences for the discovery, development and production of an enormous variety of well-known or novel products ranging from fuels and foods over complex proteins to specialised pharmaceuticals and whole organisms with novel abilities. Classical plant and animal productions are nowadays relying on modern biotechnology. The same is true for the treatment of our waste water and other waste streams that in some cases can be converted into energy or valuable products by the action of specialised enzymes or microorganisms. Biotechnology is bound to have a very strong influence on our future lives and development. At the Master programme in Biotechnology, you will work with biological molecules, gene technologies, and microbial and cell cultures. In the courses, you will learn about cell biology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, protein chemistry and more. Every semester you will also carry out an experimental research project where you will make use of the methods and the knowledge taught in the courses, and where you have time to acquire in-depth understanding of specific subjects of your own interest.
