Master in Applied Biotechnology and Biomedical Sciences

Biotechnology represents the utilization of living organisms, encompassing plant cells, animal cells, microorganisms, and the biomolecules derived from them. These elements combine to forge the path towards developing novel products and services. This field of science is at the forefront of crafting sustainable solutions for the impending bioeconomy, with a dedicated focus on enhancing food production, healthcare, and environmental stewardship. In the first year of our master's degree program, students engage in coursework at the master's level, immersing themselves in our primary areas of experimental interest. These encompass areas such as cellular and reproductive biotechnology, molecular and functional genetics/genomics, bioinformatics, and biodiscovery. Notably, this comprehensive curriculum also includes a course in biotechnology commercialization, equipping students with a holistic understanding of the field. To cater to students with a bachelor's in biomedical laboratory science (bioingeniørfag), we offer the flexibility to substitute up to two courses with alternative courses focused on laboratory medicine. This adaptability ensures that our master's program accommodates diverse educational backgrounds, fostering a multidisciplinary approach in graduates who emerge adept at tackling multifaceted biotechnological challenges. As a result, our students are well-prepared to navigate the complex landscape of biotechnology with skill and expertise, making substantial contributions to the industry and society.
