Bachelor of Philosophy in Biotechnology: (Industrial, Medical, and Agricultural)

In the face of the diversity and breadth of biological sciences, The School of Biological and Life Sciences at the Technical University of Kenya creates an opportunity for new specializations to enhance capacity building, collaborations and maximization in utilization of resources, both physical and human. The Department of Applied and Technical Biology focuses on the training in biology and its applications, such as industrial, agricultural, medical, research and forestry, while departments of Biochemistry and Biotechnology explores bio-molecules isolation, analysis and use. The Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology focuses on the sustainable use of natural resources, while the Department of Food Science and Technology’s main focus is largely on application of biological sciences, in this respect borrowing heavily from biology and chemistry to improve the quality of human life.
