Short description:
The aim of the program is to enable students to be competent in all fields of biotechnology by providing them with deep theoretical knowledge and practical skills (engineering and technological). Students will experience laboratory and manufacturing practices for themselves that a biochemical engineer might encounter in everyday work. Students will get acquainted with the equipment and apparatus used in the biotechnological industry and understand their optimal operation.
