Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a combination of two subjects- Biology and Technology. Broadly speaking, it brings together concepts of Biology and Engineering and aims at putting concepts of both these subjects together, in a bid to enrich our lives and make innovative developments. Biotechnology is a rapidly developing sector. Advancements are being made at good pace in this sector. Big firms are pouring in big money into it and new business opportunities are developing in this sector. These things have led to huge increase in job openings in this sector. In short, Biotechnology graduates are in huge demand these days.
After BSC Biotechnology, one may go for MSC Biotechnology, the Masters course. MSC course will take two years to complete.
M. Sc.:
The field of biotechnology uses living organisms to generate controlled processes or even final products. Who pursuing this degree learn about a wide range of topics. On the biological side, focuses may include genetics, microbiology, cellular biology, and biochemistry. On the design and engineering side, students may learn about subjects such as process design and genetic engineering. Some programs also allow students to focus on a subdiscipline, such as the role of bioengineering and bioscience in healthcare or food production.
This degree program prepares students for biotechnology careers by encompassing a broad range of subjects that many degree programs do not. Besides providing students with necessary knowledge, the degree coursework fosters problem solving and critical thinking skills that prepare students to take on various design and engineering challenges.
Career Prospects:
Technicians
Research & Development (R&D) specialists
Scientists
Production Managers
Quality Control Managers
Marketing & Sales Personnel
Logistics
MBA (Master of Business Administration ):
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master's degree in business administration (management). The MBA is a terminal degree and a professional degree. The core courses in an MBA program cover various areas of business such as accounting, applied statistics, business communication, business ethics, business law, finance, managerial economics, management, marketing, and operations in a manner most relevant to management analysis.

Hi Shivani,
Some of the best universities for biotechnology studies in Canada are University of British Columbia, University of Western Ontario, University of Winnipeg, University of Guelph, University of Lethbridge, University of Alberta, University of Toronto, University of Calgary, University of Manitoba, University of Ottawa and Carleton University. Biotechnology courses are found in sync with Biology, so always check the department's website, the exact specializations and programme structure before you sign up for any course. There is one more thing you need to be aware of, 67% marks may not just be enough. Universities in Canada are competitive, check the admission requirements and apply thereafter.

The major advantage of doing a B.Sc course in this subject is that the course duration is short when compared to a B.E/B.Tech program. B.Sc course takes 3 years to complete whereas B.E/B.Tech program takes 4 years.
Another advantage is the relatively low saturation level in this field. From facts and figures, it is quite evident that B.Sc Biotechnology is not a very popular professional course among 12th Science students. Students prefer courses like B.E/B.Tech, MBBS, BDS etc. On seeing the 'B.Sc.' label, they tend to ignore Biotechnology course. This has resulted in relatively less number of takers for this course. Ultimately, this has resulted in low job market saturation too! So, it is safe to say that finding a good job after graduation won't be a tough task when compared to heavily saturated courses!
Then comes the attractive prospect of availability of lucrative scholarships. Many State Governments are offering all studies expense covering scholarships to meritorious students, who choose to pursue B.Sc. course. Such scholarships are provided to students scoring above 85% merit marks only.
Biotechnology is a rapidly developing sector. Advancements are being made at a good pace in this sector. Big firms are pouring in big money into it and new business opportunities are developing in this sector. These things have led to huge increase in job openings in this sector. In short, Biotechnology graduates are in huge demand these days.
After B.Sc. Biotechnology, one may go for M.Sc. Biotechnology, the Master's course. M.Sc course will take two years to complete. After completing B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees, one may venture into Ph.D. also.
Another post graduate course that can be done after B.Sc Biotechnology is MBA. It will take 2 years to get an MBA Degree.
As I pointed out above, this is a rapidly developing field. Many private businesses are exploring this field and heavily investing in it. It is safe to say that there are ample job opportunities for Biotechnology graduates in private sector. Government sector too offers job opportunities but not in the scale in which private sector does.
