Biotechnology Summer Course

Biotechnology

A summer course in Cambridge, by Reach Cambridge

The Reach Cambridge Biotechnology Course introduces students to both the academic study of biotechnology and its exciting practical applications in the real world.

This fast-growing area of modern science has the potential to fundamentally alter how we produce food, treat disease and create medicines. Topics covered include genetics, drug resistance, pharmaceutical science, biotechnological devices and drug design. Through lectures by experts in the field and hands-on practical sessions, students will be offered a unique insight into both the study of biotechnology at university and the vocational opportunities in the field beyond higher education. As a part of academic enrichment, students are exposed to the latest scientific innovations, and to the research and development work that is carried out before a product/test is released into the market.
