A Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Biotechnology is an undergraduate degree program that focuses on the application of biological principles and techniques to develop products and technologies that benefit society. It integrates knowledge from biology, chemistry, genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, and engineering to manipulate biological systems for various purposes. Students in a B.Sc. Biotechnology program study a wide range of topics, including genetic engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, bioprocessing, bioinformatics, biochemistry, and biophysics. They learn about the principles and techniques used in biotechnological research, such as DNA sequencing, recombinant DNA technology, gene editing, protein purification, and fermentation processes. The curriculum often includes both theoretical coursework and practical laboratory experiences, where students learn to conduct experiments, analyze data, and solve problems related to biotechnological applications. Graduates with a B.Sc. in Biotechnology can pursue careers in various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, healthcare, agriculture, food processing, environmental remediation, and biomanufacturing. They may work in research and development, quality control, production, regulatory affairs, technical sales, or entrepreneurship. Additionally, some graduates may choose to pursue advanced degrees, such as Master's or Ph.D. programs, to further specialize in specific areas of biotechnology or to pursue careers in academia, research, or leadership positions within the biotechnology industry.
