Career Opportunities   
As a Bachelor of Engineering in Biotechnology, you acquire a wide range of career opportunities in the global job market – in Denmark or abroad.

You will obtain competences within development and production using biotechnological processes. It could be solving tasks within the fields of health science, nutrition, environment, and energy, within areas covering the scope of food and medicine production, environmental, and energy sectors.

You will qualify for a position as an operational and production engineer working with process control based on chemical, physical, and biological analysis. Control, regulation, and optimization of production processes could also be one of your areas of responsibility.

Moreover, having this education, you can work as a process, trial, and development engineer within the research and development of new setups in the area of most recent biological production and wastewater purification processes.

About the Degree

The degree focuses on biotechnology, for example how cells are used as small factories in the production of pharma and foodstuffs, or how they are used in the purification of wastewater or converting waste into energy – biofuels. You will gain theoretical knowledge within biotechnology and will be working with the following disciplines:

  • Cell and microbiology
  • Biotechnology and protein chemistry
  • General and technical chemistry
  • Mathematics and statistics

Moreover, you will get acquainted with a line of technical subjects such as chemical unit operations, practical regulation, fermentation, and chemical reaction engineering. From the very beginning of your education, you will start bridging theory and practice, integrating obtained theoretical knowledge with real-life professional practice.
