Master of Science in Biotechnology

The Master of Science in Biotechnology aims to provide you with comprehensive training in both technical and scientific skills, as well as the essential business fundamentals needed for careers in the biomedical industry, whether in a technical or management role.

To successfully complete the program, you will need to accumulate a minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate training. This will include advanced studies in life sciences, translational science (such as product development or regulatory affairs), and business skills encompassing management, marketing, and finance. Additionally, the program emphasizes the development of soft skills, such as effective communication, team building, and conflict resolution.

It's important to note that this program follows a non-thesis Master of Science format. However, it does include a significant requirement in the form of an extensive literature-based review paper. This paper serves as an opportunity for you to demonstrate your scholarly abilities.
