Biotechnology has been practiced since ancient times when our ancestors took advantage of microorganisms to make yeast and use fermentation to make wine. It is a science where students learn to combine the knowledge in biology and life sciences with current technology. Students will learn to modify genetics in animals, plants to create a new product.
So if you found biology, and chemistry subjects to your liking, there is a chance that you will enjoy the time well spent in this field. You will also dedicate lots of your time in lab researching and experimenting with living organisms and bacterias.
The products created can range from agricultural products (food preservatives, genetically engineered vegetables) to creating vitamins and vaccines for human immune system. The industry is set to blossom in the foreseeable future and graduates demand are most likely to be high.
