Research into the smallest building blocks of life
In Biotechnology, you work on how biology and chemistry are used to understand, develop and improve everything from medicine and disease treatment to food, fuels and biological processes. You learn about cells, genes, chemical reactions and the technologies used to study and influence them. It is a field of study for those who want to immerse themselves in natural sciences and would like to understand how research makes a difference in the world.

Why choose Biotechnology?
Biotechnology gives you a strong scientific profile, where you work with topics such as genetics, chemical processes, understanding disease, laboratory techniques and biotechnological methods. You learn to analyze, experiment and investigate how the body, microorganisms and chemical compounds react. At the same time, you gain a professional foundation that is in demand in both health sciences, research and technological professions.
How the teaching takes place
You will meet teachers who include current examples from the world of research and industry. In the laboratory you will work with experimental setups, measurements and analyses, and in chemistry you will connect structures, reactions and energy to biotechnological themes. In the history of ideas you will examine the ethical and societal questions that come with new technologies, and you will gain experience in working in an investigative and project-oriented manner with scientific issues.

The application deadline is March 1st at 12:00. If you apply later, you will have to take an entrance exam, even if you meet all admission requirements. You will receive a response to your application in April.
In 8th grade, you must have an average of 5.0 in your final standing grades to meet the academic requirements to be assessed as educationally ready for upper secondary school. The educational readiness assessment also includes your personal and social qualifications.
In 9th grade, you must have an average of 5.0 in your final standing grades to continue to meet the academic requirements to be assessed as educationally ready for high school.
For the final exam, you must pass and confirm your academic level from the UPV in the statutory exams in order to be able to go directly to high school.
If you are not considered ready for education and have an average of less than 6.0 in the statutory tests from the primary school leaving exam, you have the opportunity to apply for admission via a professional entrance exam and interview.
There are various alternatives for the few who do not confirm their level at the final exam. Contact UU or a study advisor to find out more about these.
When you choose Biotechnology, you will receive a combination of mandatory subjects and the opportunity to choose your own subjects.

You can choose to lift:
Physics for A-level
Chemistry for A-level
English to A-level
Mathematics for A-level
Technology for A-level
Social studies at B-level
German (continued) C
What can you choose as a new C subject?
If you choose a C subject instead, you will get a completely new subject on your schedule.
You can choose:
Business Administration C
Psychology C
Music C
Sports C
Media Subject C
Philosophy C
