MASTER OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

Gain the knowledge and real-world training to make an impact in the biopharmaceutical industry

Biomanufacturing is the science and technology of using (engineered) living cells to create valuable products like medicine, biofuels, and sustainable materials. Medicines made using cells are also known as biologics and include vaccines, antibodies, enzymes, and cell and gene therapy products.

The program is designed to lay the foundation for careers in the biotech industry. The program emphasizes understanding cell and molecular biology, how medicines are discovered, (bio)manufactured, and regulated and has 150+ hours of hands-on training on laboratory techniques that match industry standards equipment and techniques.

The degree at ACPHS is a great fit for early and mid-career professionals who want to enter the biotech sector and (bio)pharmaceutical industry. If you’re already a professional working in biopharma, this program is a great way to sharpen your skills and prepare for leadership roles in a continually evolving industry.

This innovative one-year master program combines a foundation in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing theory, with experiential learning at CBET. Students will develop and run live bioprocessing projects from start to finish, using industry-standard equipment in a simulated cGMP (current good manufacturing practices) environment.

The curriculum culminates in experiential learning, in which students apply what they have learned in the classroom and laboratory to real-world experience. Either an internship or a capstone project must be completed by students.

Offered with a flexible lecture and laboratory schedule, this master’s is designed for early and mid-career professionals who want to enter the biopharmaceutical industry in a range of capacities, including cell-line development, process development, regulatory compliance, quality assurance/quality control, manufacturing and business development.
