 Course Overview Master of Science in Biotechnology and Why You Should Pursue It

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that utilizes the techniques and technologies of various biological fields such as the following:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Microbiology
  • Cell Biology
  • Immunology 

This helps to solve the various biological problems cost-effectively. Tackle these problems with the help of biological systems and organisms, including bacteria, yeast, and plants, to carry out particular functions or generate valuable substances. 

Master's degree in Biotechnology: It is a two-year postgraduate program. This course will cover all the important biological science technologies that make the biotechnology field. This course also builds the research and development aptitude in students which is one of the key areas in biotechnology. 

Why pursue a Master in Biotechnology

  • If a student wants to pursue a career in Research and wants to make an impact in the healthcare industry, an M.sc Biotechnology course provides all the theoretical and practical knowledge of various applied biological fields to widen their scope and mind and make them critical thinkers.
  • The course provides in-depth knowledge and practicality of Biotechnology and its application in various fields. It also helps the student to specialize in any biotechnology field of their liking, such as plant biotechnology, medical biotechnology, industrial biotechnology, and microbial biotechnology.
  • A master's degree opens up opportunities in fields like pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, clinical research, agriculture and industrial biotechnology, and many more. 
  • Master program syllabus makes you capable of cracking National Entrance exams to pursue a Ph.D. with a fellowship to become a Doctorate in Biotechnology

Eligible requirement for a postgraduate course: Candidates holding a Bachelor's degree in biotechnology or a related field from a recognized university with a cumulative score of at least 50 percent.
