This degree course provides a solid foundation in the area of biochemistry, creating the scientific and technological skills to allow students: a) the equivalence of the cycles taught at European institutions of the same level; b) to continue with a reasonable level of autonomy to advanced training in biochemistry or related areas in second cycle studies in a European institution; c) to enter directly into the job market. CAREER PROSPECTS A biotechnology graduate is prepared to work in industry and in the service sector in a broad range of scientific areas not only limited to biochemistry but also in biophysics, molecular and cellular biology, physiology and microbiology. The curriculum also allows students to acquire skills in optional areas including immunology, food chemistry, and ecology.
