Study programme: Biotechnology
Study field: Food Biotechnology

Study programme Biotechnology educates human resources for the performance of professional work in the field of Technological engineering, in the scientific field of Biotechnology with the title Bachelor with honors engineer in technology. By the realization of this study programme at bachelor degree studies, necessary academic skills are acquired and creative abilities are developed necessary for the analysis and synthesis of processes in biotechnological production, for the independent management of biotechnological production, for the optimization of current biotechnological processes, for the analysis of interaction of biotechnology and the environment in order to protect it. The aim of the study programme is also the development of skills for presentation and report of one’s results to specialist and wider audience. This study programme is also the base for continuation of education in the field of Technological engineering. The bachelor degree studies of the study programme Biotechnology cover two optional study fields (modules): Food Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering.

In the realization of teaching programme of study field Food Biotechnology, theoretical knowledge is gained as well as experimental, laboratory and operation experience with the aim of students’ skills development to define objectively raw materials quality, semi-products and ready-made products of  biotechnological  production, process parameters and their mutual interaction. Detailed knowledge of all traditional biotechnological production segments enables them to independently organize, run, improve and innovate production of malt and beer, strong alcoholic beverages, alcohol and bakery yeast, vinegar and organic acids, vitamins, enzymes, antibiotics, etc.
