The Master of Biotechnology (MBiot) is a one-year, interdisciplinary master’s program through which students both deepen their scientific training and develop business skills that prepare them for a fulfilling career in the diverse, entrepreneurial, and fast-changing field of biotechnology. Students are trained as highly competent, independent, and creative researchers/managers who are familiar with and able to integrate both the science and business environments. Furthermore, the program encourages the development of entrepreneurial activities in this area, which is crucial for the formation of new private sector companies. Courses promote effective communication of knowledge of the scientific discipline, as well as place it in a business context, and the program culminates in an independent research project wherein students interact with faculty, the wider research community, and private sector companies.
