Plants are an invaluable source of products and have uses of very diverse interest, including agrifood, pharmacological, ornamental, ecological and environmental uses, with traditional applications such as reforestation or innovative ones such as the use of plants for the clean-up and regeneration of contaminated soils.
In recent years, plant biotechnology applications in industry have experienced a golden age, and have moved in a very short time from traditional applications in the textile and dye industry to new horizons in the biofuels, plastics and vaccine industries. Exploiting production capacities to the maximum, designing and developing new capacities and increasing the added value of existing crops, all in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way, is an exciting challenge for biotechnology today.
Against this background, both industry and scientific research require further training in the latest techniques in biotechnology, both from the point of view of cellular and molecular biology and plant genetic engineering. To this end, this master's degree, part of the postgraduate programme in Biotechnology at the UPV and taught at the facilities of the Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology, a joint centre of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), provides a syllabus whereby students will gain in-depth knowledge of the techniques and cutting-edge applications in the field of plant biotechnology.

More programs from the university

There are a number of bachelor’s degrees at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.

To get onto an undergraduate program at UPV, you will need to:

• Have passed the University Access Test of the Spanish education system
• Have passed a Specific Higher Vocational Training, Advanced Plastic Arts and Design Specialist and Advanced Sports Specialist
• Have passed the University Entrance Examinations for over 25s or 45s or the procedure for those over 40 with professional or work experience
• Hold a university degree
• Hold the required studies, according to the educational system of a foreign country and meeting the academic requirements required in their educational systems to access their universities. Students must obtain the corresponding accreditation at the UNED, which may require the prior approval of their degrees of access


At UPV, all degrees have admission caps indicating the maximum number of new students who can enrol in certain classes. Students who pre-enrol are arranged based on their admission mark and this determines who is offered a place.

For tuition, students can either make payment in one instalment, two instalments, or in eight instalments.

International students on undergraduate programs must undergo the university’s pre-registration process, and different dates are assigned to each Autonomous Community. Before carrying out the pre-registration students must obtain the necessary documentation at the UNED .


To earn a place at postgraduate level on a master’s degree program at UPV, students must:

• Hold an official university degree in Spain or a degree issued by a higher education institution belonging to another member state of the EHEA that authorizes access to master’s degrees

Graduates may also access a master's degree according to educational systems outside the EHEA without validating their degree if the university is equivalent to a Spanish university degree.

After the corresponding pre-registration process, students will be admitted if they hit the academic criteria. In some cases, a student may be required to complete complementary training based on the previous accredited training.

Students can pay their tuition in one instalment, two instalments, or in eight instalments.

International students need to undergo the university pre-registration process.
