这个具有学术挑战性和职业发展计划的重点是利用生物和化学原理和系统进行研发以创造新产品，服务和产业。您将利用合成生物学发展领域的要素来进行重大改变和重大创新，以应对人类人口迅速变化，资源短缺，能源经济转型以及随之而来的对更多更健康食品，可持续燃料循环的需求增长带来的挑战，以及更清洁的环境。
Synthetic biology is a multidisciplinary area that seeks to provide novel solutions for medicine, manufacturing and agriculture, by creating new biological components and systems that do not already exist in nature. Synthetic biology strives to make the engineering of biology easier and more predictable by applying key engineering principles to biology such as standardisation and modularisation, thereby accelerating the creation of novel products, services and industries.<br><br>Our Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology MSc is a fast-paced and dynamic programme of study. Your studies will draw on the latest research in the fields of synthetic biology, (bio)engineering and biotechnology. Through this programme, you will have the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for developing innovative solutions and tackle the pressing global challenges we are facing: rapidly changing human demographics and resulting health pressures, growing demand for more and healthier food, resource shortages, sustainable fuel transition and a cleaner environment.
