The degree programme in Biotechnology imparts knowledge for the design and analysis of bioprocesses used in obtaining products, goods and services, as well as in managing and controlling them. Biotechnology students are trained to:

• Know the scientific foundations necessary to understand the behaviour of biological molecules, their properties and interactions, as well as biochemical and industrial process engineering.
• Understand the experimental strategies used in biotechnological research.
• Comprehend the biochemical foundations of biological diversity from the level of the molecule to that of the organism, understanding the molecular basics of genetic transfer and its applications.
