The Master in Biophysics and Quantitative Biotechnology is an official master of the School of Science (Facultad de Ciencias) of the University of Zaragoza, certified by the national agency ANECA (Spanish Agency for Quality Evaluation and Accreditation). It has been designed and fostered by researchers at the School of Science and at the Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) of the University of Zaragoza.
Biotechnology has become a key and pivotal technology in modern world, as the Covid-19 crisis has dramatically demonstrated. On the other hand, it is more and more indebted and related to several other disciplines than Biology: Computer Science, Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics and Physics are all involved in providing the tools and the interpretation framework for biotechnological experiments and designs, so that it is impossible to think of the future of biotechnology without them.
To prepare new generations of scientists to be employed in the academic or industrial biotechnological research. The Master is directed to graduate students as well as professional profiles with a degree in scientific/medical disciplines, who want to earn an interdisciplinary formation on the experimental, theoretical and computational tools that are needed understand biological systems and to produce new drugs and biotechnological products. Introductory courses are provided to equalize the background level of the student. A knowledge of English at the B2 level (IELTS 6.5)
is required.
