Máster en Biotecnología Médica

With this MSc Medical Biotechnology degree, you’ll develop practical and analytical skills in molecular biotechnology, including exploring online biological databases, therapeutics, bioinformatics and diagnostics.

You'll build practical laboratory skills in academia and industry and study in a challenging learning environment informed by professional practice, current research and advanced laboratory techniques.

Medical biotechnology is a rapidly expanding industry. With the UK being Europe’s leading biotech hub (McKinsey & Co) and Portsmouth ranked third of all post-1992 universities in the UK for research power, there’s no better time to take your previous studies to the postgraduate level.

When you graduate, you’ll be ready for a successful career in research or industry in the biotechnology sector or the fields of bioscience or pharmaceutics.
