Biotechnology master's programme at Chalmers
The master's programme focuses on the interface between chemistry, biology and medicine, with engineering as a common working tool. It provides students with competencies on how to use engineering principles in the analysis and manipulation of biological systems to solve problems across a spectrum of important applications.
The programme thus covers the broad base of knowledge from genetics to process engineering provided by expertise from the Departments of Biology and Biology engineering, Chemistry and Chemical engineering and Physics, at Chalmers, and the units of Chemistry and molecular biology and Biochemistry, at the University of Gothenburg.
Why apply
Biotechnology Chalmers University of Technology In recent decades, gene modification has revolutionized the biotechnology industry, giving rise to countless new products and improving established processes. However, biotechnology, as practiced today, is much more than recombinant DNA technology, cellular biology, microbiology and biochemistry.
It also embraces process design, engineering, modelling and control.
The practical applications of biotechnology include age-old techniques such as brewing, fermentation and cheese making, all of which are still important today. The introduction of new techniques based on fundamental biological research has resulted in major advances. Microorganisms and cells (or parts thereof) are utilized to produce valuable products, and new medicines are products of biotechnology.
Topics covered
The subjects of tissue engineering and applied microbiology are fundamental areas in the Biotechnology master’s programme. The courses included in the programme plan handle topics such as biomaterials, metabolic systems and industrial biomedicine.
There are also different tracks within the programme. For example, the Food and health track where you can find the course Food technology and sustainable food systems. This course focuses on the application of food science and engineering principles into sustainable product development and industrial production along the food chain. The programme also offers the track Biomaterials and tissue engineering. This track includes, among others, the course Tissue engineering which provides a general understanding of tissue growth and development, as well as the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and organs.
