How does the cell work? What do a gene and a protein look like? How is genetic information passed on? Where does the energy come from to guide these processes? How do the millions of cells communicate in our tissues? What do our 35000 genes do? What could possibly go wrong on a cellular and molecular level? The Biochemistry and Biotechnology programme will answer all these questions and many more. The University of Antwerp has been teaching Biochemistry and Biotechnology since 1972. This programme is characterised by its fundamentally scientific nature, the integration of decent education with high quality research, close contact between students, professors and staff, a large selection of theses to choose from, integrated practical sessions to learn basic skills, use of information and communication technology (ICT) and student-oriented education.

There are opportunities in different sectors of the job market. Although an academic bachelor degree can be a final degree in itself, it is firstly a preparation for a master’s degree. A master’s will lead to more leading positions. You could end up in fundamental and applied scientific research, in the biotechnological or pharmaceutical industry, in research in diagnostic laboratories (clinical, agricultural,, environmental, etc), in the commercial, technical or information sector, or in management or other leading positions, in education, etc.
