    About the field of study

    Biotechnology is considered one of the most innovative and strategic scientific fields for economic and civilization development. In this field of study, students acquire knowledge and skills that will enable them to move freely in this interdisciplinary field. They will learn the secrets of biochemistry, microbiology, genetic engineering, molecular biology or bioinformatics. The design of the educational program takes into account the latest scientific advances - students learn to design and perform genetic modifications on biological material, and learn about the opportunities offered by the use of microorganisms, enzymes and other metabolites in production. The knowledge gained allows not only to change manufacturing technology and improve already existing processes and products, but most importantly to create completely new ones. We guarantee that by using modern forms of education and focusing on the acquisition of knowledge in practice, we educate highly qualified engineers, and thanks to a wide range of elective modules or an individual course of study, students can direct their didactic path according to their interests.

    Graduate opinions

    My cooperation with Polmos began during my second degree. I carried out my master's thesis simultaneously as a student in the Zespół Technologii Spirytusu i Drożdży and as an employee at Polmos Zyrardow. Working at this company gives me a lot of experience, both professionally and in life.

    About you

    Biotechnology is a widely used field in modern industry. It is essential in the production of food, chemicals or medicines. If you, too, would like to learn its secrets, join the biotechnology students at Lodz University of Technology? 

    Combining biology and the latest technological advances was unrealistic in school? Enter the world of modern biotechnology with us by performing experiments in microbiology and biochemistry in one of our laboratories. With specialized apparatus, you will conduct even the most advanced experiments, develop innovative formulations and study their effects. You will be able to follow the view from the microscope on a monitor screen or in an app on your smartphone. Even molecular biology will have no secrets from you. These are not visions from science-fiction movies, but your future! You will also acquire useful interpersonal skills - you will learn to work in professional research teams. And if studying isn't enough for you, you can join one of the student research groups. This is a great opportunity to broaden perspectives and meet interesting people from the world of science.
