BSc Biotechnology

University of Nottingham Malaysia
Semenyih, Selangor
What is Bioscience?
Rapid advances in technology and knowledge have a daily impact on our lives, from the air we breathe to the food we eat and the environment in which we live.

Biosciences at Nottingham encompasses a range of areas as diverse as genetic engineering of microorganisms and plants, environment and its protection; modern therapeutic applications in the medical and pharmaceutical field; the growth, development and reproduction of plants and animals; the production and preservation of agricultural and food commodities; food manufacture, nutrition and health.


How will I study?
Our degree programmes are all modular, which allows you a certain degree of flexibility to select modules that are of personal interest. Essential core modules have been specified for each degree programme – these ensure you have the core skills, knowledge and competencies required in your chosen discipline of Biotechnology or Nutrition. After the first year of study, you can select complementary modules that are of interest to you.

Coursework and exams will be used to assess your progress during and at the end of each semester. Most of your learning will be via lectures, which are supported by practical classes and tutorial sessions. You are encouraged and facilitated to become independent learners. Your personal tutor and the module convenors will guide you through the modules and assist with any difficulties you might face.


Career prospects
Our graduates are highly sought after and the majority secure employment or continue with further studies within six months of graduation. As a Biosciences graduate, you will find a range of opportunities such as research scientist, analyst, technician, project manager, consultant, educator and advocator in both the public and private sectors.

Your skills and knowledge can be applied in laboratories, hospitals, research organisations, agricultural and plantation companies, bio-production and manufacturing plants, the food and health industry, the development sector and many others. Our graduates have found employment with local and international companies including CCM chemicals, Danone, Dutch Lady, Johnson and Johnson, Pharmaniaga, Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD), Syngenta and Unilever.

BSc Biotechnology
Biotechnology aims to apply the latest molecular approaches to develop technologies and novel products to address modern-day problems in food production, healthcare, industrial and environmental sectors. This degree places emphasis on the application of advances in biotechnology to address global issues such as food security, reduction of hunger, enhancement of crops, bio-production and bioprocesses for industrial applications, novel drug discovery and therapeutic biotechnology. Topics covered include genomics and proteomics; genetic engineering of microorganisms and crops; detection of food pathogens and development of novel industrial products, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

Our programme focuses on 3 key areas of biotechnology, with Industrial biotechnology as the core discipline that links with plant biotechnology and medical/pharmaceutical biotechnology. The programme includes an optional industrial placement in year 2, which will enable you to gain industry experience, crucial for your career development and employment. In year 3, you will carry out a research project which will help to develop specialist knowledge in an area of your choice and transferable skills including data analysis and presentation, effective communication and independent thinking.
