Most B.Sc programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means cell and molecular biology, genetics, bioprocess engineering and bioinformatics. Typical first jobs: roles in biotech, pharma, food and research labs. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.
