Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biotechnology - Including Year Abroad

Training in biotechnology has never been more important, whether helping to prevent and cure diseases, feeding the growing human population or finding solutions for global crises such as climate change, pollution and the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

By taking our BSc Biotechnology course you will obtain a broad, research-led education in biotechnology, covering aspects of animal, plant and microbial biotechnology, with a strong foundation in molecular and cell biology. Therefore, you will be well placed to contribute to a field that is essential for human and planetary health and the delivery of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

You will gain a range of practical skills in our modern STEM Centre laboratory. This hands-on lab training throughout your first and second years will provide skills for your final-year research project. Opportunities to interact with future employers with site visits and guest lectures will prepare you for future employment and to contribute to this exciting field.
Biotechnology is a fast-growing, innovative field that provides sustainable ways to heal, clean and feed the planet.

Our BSc Biotechnology course will provide you with a broad biological understanding and training in modern molecular techniques, which will be transferable across multiple sectors, such as: biotechnology, pharma, aquaculture, agriculture and food industries, water companies and biomedical-science and public-health organisations.

You will acquire the skills required for a range of other careers, such as research, teaching and science communication.

New final-year modules were designed with employability in mind, by including visits to a range of biotech/agritech companies. You will also have access to cutting-edge facilities, and have many opportunities to develop entrepreneurial skills, both within our School of Life Sciences and via Essex Startups.

We also work with our University's Student Development Team to help you find out about work experience, internships, placements, and future employment.
