Biosystems and Biomaterials Engineering (minor)

The minor in Biosystems and Biomaterials Engineering in the Life Science Technologies programme is designed to give graduates understanding of basic biological phenomena related to biosystems engineering. The minor supports the developments of skills and tools for solving the complex problems encountered within the field.

After graduating from the Biosystems and Biomaterials Engineering minor, the students:

• have a basic understanding of cellular systems at the molecular and cellular level
• gain an overview on the engineering of cellular systems using genetic engineering and synthetic biology tools for designing of genetic circuits and cellular pathways
• understand statistical methods and can apply them to real-world problems
• can work alone and in teams on multi-dimensional problems and communicate findings in oral and written form
