MTech Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering

Master of Technology in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering

M.Tech (Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering) or Master of Technology in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering is a Post-Graduate Biotechnology course. First, Biotechnology and Bioengineering is a science covering applied fundamentals and the application of engineering principles to biology-based problems. Second, Biochemical Engineering is a branch of chemical engineering or biological engineering that mainly deals with the design and construction of unit processes that involve biological organisms or molecules, such as bioreactors.

The duration of the Master of Technology degree program in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering is generally two years, but it may vary from institute to institute and also maybe on a part-time basis by certain institutes. The Master of Technology course in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering is very valuable and many of the institutes provide this course on their campuses.
