Our mission is to have graduates with interdisciplinary perspective, who are able to be participate in the international and national pioneer and innovative research groups, and to use their technical background for the needs of the society in application and production. The Department is offering a Master of Science Program with Thesis in Biotechnology aiming to give a graduate level multidisciplinary academic education program with theoretical and practical aspects and provide scientific environment with contribution of qualified academicians. Laboratory practices will be held in the research and application facilities of the Institute of Transplantation and Gene Sciences.
