Biotechnology is a subfield of Biology that involves living organisms and systems, and their technological application, as well as the creation and development of products for various uses which can include solutions for current world issues, like environmental pollution, sustainable food sources, alternative energy and cleaner fuels. Biotechnology programs typically teach subjects like Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics of Bacteria, Genetics, Comparative Physiology, Microbiology, Biochemical Toxicology, Food and Medical Biotechnology and others. Students learn about environmental issues, its impact and how to stop them using different biotechnological techniques. Biotechnology programs generally have a strong practical focus, so students are able to apply the obtained theoretical knowledge and build professional skills valued highly in the industry, like critical-thinking, experimental design, problem-solving, developing strategies, gathering and analyzing data, and the ability to adapt to new tasks and challenging environments. Graduates in Biotechnology have various career prospects. For example, they can work in health care, food production, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, quality control, product development, environmental protection, biomedicine, bioscience, research, cellular biology and many more.
