理学学士（生物技术）

生物技术是为了人类和环境的利益而进行的生物学应用。它利用生物来提供食品和药品，并用于清洁有毒废物或检测有害物质等任务。生物技术植根于粮食和农业，利用酵母制造啤酒和面包，利用乳酸菌制造奶酪。基因工程等新技术使现代生物技术成为医疗，农业，食品工业和环境等领域“智能经济”的重要组成部分。<br>该计划提供了重点突出且受到密切指导的项目在具有未来真正机遇的领域中学习课程。除了现代生物学的核心知识外，生物技术学位还提供针对语言，商务和沟通技巧的定制培训。学生们还可以在四年级时在校园的研究实验室中完成个人项目。
Biotechnology is the application of biology for the benefit of humanity and the environment. It harnesses living organisms to provide foods and medicines, and for tasks such as cleaning toxic waste or detecting harmful substances. Biotechnology has roots in food and agriculture, using yeast to make beer and bread, and lactic acid bacteria to make cheese. Modern technologies such as genetic engineering make biotechnology a major part of Ireland's economic future in biopharmaceuticals, biomedicine, agriculture, the food industry and the environment.<br><br>Our BSc Biotechnology is a science-focused and closely mentored course with strong career opportunities and an international outlook.
