The study programme combines an understanding of biology with technological skills. The combination prepares you to tackle society’s challenges related to disease, well-being, food, and the green transition—now and in the future. The world needs engineers who understand enzymes, biological data, or cell factories down to the smallest molecular detail.
As a Biotechnology student, you will therefore learn about the mechanisms behind all life, and will understand how molecules can be used to create products that change people’s lives.
What will you learn?
During your studies, you will encounter the technologies used to work with living systems. You will gain a broad knowledge of the life sciences, and will understand how to work with sustainable and digital solutions.
You have electives during your studies, where you can choose which subjects you want to delve into. For example, as a biotechnology student you can choose to become a protein expert, or specialize in cell factories. You will learn about the use of enzymes in sustainable industries, and how a cell factory like yeast can produce both beer and insulin.
Study programme structure
Your courses are set during your first year of study. These are core courses that form an academic foundation for the rest of your study programme. You will be taught mathematics, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, life sciences, and biotechnological problem solving, and you will learn to perform laboratory exercises and program in Python.
From the start of your second year you begin to experience freedom of choice, which only increases during your studies. The second year also offers courses in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and fermentation technology.
The final part of your bachelor programme depends on which electives you choose.

Admission Requirements
Level requirements
- Mathematics A
- Physics B or Earth Sciences A
- Chemistry B or Biotechnology A
- Danish A
- English B
Danish language requirement
In all Danish-language civil engineering and engineering majors, it is a requirement that your Danish qualifications are equivalent to a Danish A-level from upper secondary school. This is called the Danish language requirement. The Danish language requirement applies to those who apply with a foreign entrance examination.
In the Danish-language civil engineering majors, the Danish A-level is included as one of the specific entrance requirements. Fulfilling the Danish A-level by passing a subject in the Danish A-level also fulfills the Danish language requirement.
In engineering majors, the Danish A-level is not included as one of the specific entrance requirements and the Danish language requirement is therefore relevant if you apply on the basis of a foreign entrance examination.
How to meet Danish language requirements/Danish A-level
- High school Danish A-level
- Nordic entrance exams
- The Danish language proficiency test
- The Danish primary school leaving exam
- Prior learning assessment certificate with full recognition in Danish A
English language requirement
For admission to the English-language bachelor's degree in General Engineering, all applicants with a foreign degree must meet the English language requirement. Even if you meet the requirement for English at B level from your foreign upper secondary education, you must still take an English test when applying for admission to General Engineering. If you have a Danish entrance exam, please note that you cannot take a language test instead of taking a supplementary course. The English language requirement can be met by documenting completion of the tests below with a test result above the minimum score.
