About Biotechnology Bsc in University of Nottingham

Biotechnology is a subject that combines biological science and technology to develop innovative products by changing the genetic make-up of biological cells.

Biotechnology impacts on the quality of our lives and the world we live in.

Biotechnologists tackle global issues in healthcare, energy, environment, food, and agriculture to:

• develop new life-saving medicines
• feed growing populations by generating plants with better nutritional value
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing cleaner biofuels

What you’ll study

On this degree, you can study modules relating to microbial, plant and animal biotechnology:

• microbial – learn how to apply microorganisms to medicine, food, pharmaceutical, and environment
• plant – genetically modify plants to increase crop growth and make them disease resistant
• animal – understand the physiology and nutrition of animals to apply new technologies like CRISPR to improve, growth, welfare, and develop new disease treatments

Throughout the degree you can choose the aspects of biotech that interest you most.

Topics include:

• genes and cells
• analysis of gene expression
• molecular pharming
• microbiology and immunology
• genomes and gene editing techniques
• protein expression
• ethics of biotechnology

Why choose this course?

• Accredited Course Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, this course equips you with well-rounded knowledge and skill sets, making you highly employable.
• Improve Lives Learn the latest techniques to develop new products and processes that improve our lives.
• Specialis
