You will learn how to work with cells and microorganisms. By studying cells' properties alone and in relation to their surroundings, you get a scientific basis for altering the cells' properties. You can either follow the general study or specialise in a specific area of the field. In addition, you will work with computer programmes that can read and systemise large amounts of genetic data, and computer models that help describe cell functions and understand the mechanisms behind various diseases etc. Career Opportunities Completion of the International Programme in Biotechnology at Aalborg University will qualify participants for jobs in research, development, management and production in biotechnological, food and medical industries, as well as in education. Successful candidates will also be qualified to apply for further PhD studies.
