Imperial College of Science
Key Course Facts
Course Description
Embrace the opportunity to learn German while studying biotechnology.
By studying German in conjunction with biochemistry, you can combine your training in both fields as you learn how to present scientific and technical materials in German.
As a bridge between biology and technology, biotechnology explores the commercialisation of technology, entrepreneurship, intellectual property, and patents.
You'll benefit from our internationally leading research programme, as well as lectures and case studies from business and academic leaders.
This course will prepare you for advanced study in biotechnology as you explore a range of topics.
You'll get a solid grounding in biological chemistry, molecular biology, integrative cell biology, and genes and genomics in the first two years.
In your third year, you'll have the opportunity to attend lectures and conduct research at a German-speaking university.
A wide range of optional modules are available in your final year so you can pursue your interests and complete a research project or dissertation.
The skills you develop will prepare you for advanced research and career opportunities in industries such as healthcare and biochemistry.
As well as your main Imperial degree (BSc), you will also receive the award of the Associateship of the Royal College of Science (ARCS) on completion of this course.
Please note: this course is not suitable for native or near-native German speakers.
Normally only students who are on track for at least a 2:1 by the end of their second year, will be eligible to spend their third year abroad.
The structure of the Department's courses means that transfer between different Biotechnology and Biochemistry degrees is usually possible up until the end of the second year. If you are an international student, transferring to a different course could have an impact on your Tier 4 visa, but our International Student Support Team are here to help advise and support you.
