The study plan has more than 59 learning units, with a value of 475 credits to be coursed in 4 and a half years.

The graduate profile of the Biotechnology Engineer allows him to perform their professional practice with quality, managing to genetically transform living beings or part of them to obtain new products that contribute the wellbeing of the population.

The graduate could also develop physiological and biochemical processes of the plants, identify and analyze genomes of organisms with means of diagnosis, generate and adapt biotechnological processes in the elaboration of products improving the competitiveness of the business and improving the life quality of the population.

Until next October 28, the summon will be open for everyone who is interested in coursing this educational program. To generate the admission-slip, you just need to visit www.ugto.mx/admision
