Information on exchange

About this minor

The programme Biotechnology is part of the bachelor programme Biology and Medical Research, and will focus on the quickly evolving research area biotechnology. This practice-based programme will cover topics such as microbial production, renewable energy and specific growth conditions in more detail.

Besides the theoretical modules, there is a strong emphasis on the practical execution of a research project during the laboratory courses. During these laboratory courses the students work as independent couples on designated research projects, that are usually part of ongoing research done at the knowledge institutes of Hanze University of Applied Sciences. For instance, in the past students have worked on the production of bioplastics, biogas production and the influence of growth of plants with different light wavelengths.
