Nowadays, highly qualified professionals are required to be able to face the new challenges that this biotechnological sector is facing, in both the business and research fields.

The Master's Degree in Advanced Biotechnology aims to be a quality postgraduate offer potentially useful for graduates in Biotechnology, Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Food Science and Technology, Pharmacy, Medicine, Chemistry, Veterinary Medicine, Environmental Sciences, Marine Sciences and Chemical or Agricultural Engineering, as well as a way to train professionals and doctors among the graduates of these degrees.

The main objective is to provide these professionals with advanced training in Biotechnology, of a specialised and multidisciplinary nature, providing them with the necessary tools to promote initiation in research and professional tasks. For this reason, the objective of this master's degree is twofold:

  • Professional: To train students who intend to work professionally in the biotechnology industry and/or to update the knowledge and improve the training of professionals already working in this field.
  • Academic-Research: To train students who intend to join scientific biotechnology research centres in the research teams of public and private organisations and companies.
