Additionally, the education given by the institute is carried out in close cooperation with the Programme of Biotechnology at the Tampere University of Technology. Thus, the interdisciplinary Biotechnology Programme created is unique in Finland. The modern study programme offers students the possibility to work in research groups and familiarize with the industry of the field early in their careers.
