The Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Bioengineering is an exciting and rapidly evolving field at the intersection of modern science and engineering disciplines. This program is designed to explore the diverse applications of genetic information and biotechnology. Students are trained to understand the genetic makeup of living organisms and use this knowledge to develop applications in medicine, agriculture, environmental science and other fields.
The academic content of the program starts with basic sciences such as genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology and cell biology. Building on these foundations, students move on to more advanced topics such as genetic engineering, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and bioprocess engineering. Students do extensive laboratory work and projects to develop their laboratory skills and combine their theoretical knowledge with practice. Attention is also given to ethical, legal and societal issues in the field of bioengineering and genetics.
In addition to lectures, teaching methods include seminars, group work, laboratory experiences and field studies. These methods aim to provide students with the necessary skills to both assimilate theoretical knowledge and find solutions to real-world problems. Current research articles, textbooks and interactive educational tools are used as teaching materials.
Career and employment opportunities are quite wide. Graduates can work in various sectors such as biotechnology, pharmaceutical, agriculture, food industry and environmental engineering. It is also possible to conduct academic research or pursue an academic career by attending master's and doctoral programs.
Internship and practicum opportunities offer students the opportunity to gain experience in the sector and test their academic knowledge in an applied framework. These experiences enable students to prepare for the business world and shape their career plans after graduation.
