Biotechnology
Are you an undergraduate from a life sciences, medical or related sciences and are interested in biotechnology in the medical field or modern agriculture, then join us!
Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary study that will combine the life sciences and the sciences. It addresses pressing global issues such as food security, disease treatment and environmental sustainability, enabling students to contribute to meaningful solutions.
Classes are divided into compulsory and elective. By organising the classes in this way, each student has an understanding of bioinformatics and the basics of quality management and laboratory animal work and gives a free hand in choosing what they want to pursue.
Study biotechnology at KUL. With us there is a strong emphasis on practical classes and the development of laboratory skills (small group classes, max. 8 people) in modern and well-equipped laboratories.
