Environmental biotechnology – exchange modules

A list of modules available to exchange students studying environmental biotechnology

Biotechnologies are now replacing traditional technologies with cleaner, greener alternatives. You will study ‘white’ (industrial) and ‘green’ (agricultural) biotechnology in depth, without the focus on ‘red’ (medical) biotechnology that dominates similar courses. With a strong foundation in biology and the technologies, plus the means to commercialise research, you will graduate with the skills to be the future of clean technologies, in a range of industries from biofuels to food production

Included below is a list of all modules available for exchange students studying Environmental Biotechnology at the University of Plymouth.
