The course trains scientific practitioners with a solid background of basic theoretical knowledge and highly specific skills applied to the various fields of biotechnology. In the course, notions of physics, chemistry, molecular and cellular biology are provided, with emphasis on application purposes and the design and implementation of new biotechnological methodologies.

The course has a very strong practical imprint: Laboratories characterize many of the teachings and allow familiarization with the most important techniques. Of great importance is the laboratory internship for the preparation of the thesis, which is compulsorily experimental, and can be carried out in university laboratories of the highest quality, in centers of excellence such as the Policlinico San Martino Hospital, the Italian Institute of Technology, the Giannina Gaslini Institute, or in companies in the sector.

In addition to continuing their studies with a master's degree, the Biotechnology graduate can enter the professions of industry technician, biomedical laboratory technician in toxicological/environmental detection centers and in research institutes or agencies. Other directly accessible professions are scientific informant and consultant in the fields of environmental quality, hygiene, and use of biotechnology products.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Biotechnology makes graduates capable of applying multidisciplinary techniques for the analysis, modification and use of cells and their components for the production of goods and services. Economic, management, legal, ethical, and environmental aspects related to applications of these technologies are also considered.

It provides an immediately spendable degree on the job market in the field of biotechnology and biomedical industry and research, and a solid foundation for access to master's degrees in the medical, veterinary, pharmaceutical, industrial and agricultural fields.

It is oriented in such a way as to provide in the first two years a good basic culture, giving priority in the third year to laboratory activities and qualifying courses immediately spendable in the world of work.
