Biotechnology Study Abroad Programs

Often something unimaginably tiny can have a huge effect on the world, as evidenced by advancements in the field of biotechnology, where a protein can turn into a life-saving drug or a nanomaterial can absorb sunlight to power the world more effectively. In the same way, a small action – the choice to study abroad – can have enormous effects on your life and career. As a relatively new field, there are still many biotechnology discoveries to be made, and the great minds working toward these discoveries are located all around the world. Studying biotechnology abroad can open your mind to all kinds of new things, from new foods and celebrations to new biotechnology breakthroughs.

API: Experience Dublin, Ireland (Scholarships Available)

It is said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, and the country’s history is almost tangible. In terms of Ireland’s landscape, the gentle rainfall, called “soft weather” by the locals, really creates 40 shades of green and quite a few rainbows, too. Ancient moss-covered ring forts crouch in lush valleys, while stone-strewn monastic ruins and lone castle turrets brave the wind on nearby hilltops. Many come to Ireland with high expectations of its romantic scenery, a blend of the raw and rugged with mist-covered verdancy, and seldom return home disillusioned. Dublin is arguably the most well-known Irish city, famous for its pubs and beautiful scenery. As a student in Dublin, you will have access to all aspects of Irish culture and community.

A Guide to Studying Biotechnology Abroad

Why Study Biotechnology Abroad

Discover new approaches to science, mingle with renowned scientists doing cutting edge research on the latest technologies, and explore new places and see the sights, all while working toward your degree in biotechnology.

The field of biotechnology is still small, though growing rapidly. As a result, biotechnology professionals must be excellent communicators, working in teams or with international firms for the common good of the world. Studying biotechnology abroad can improve a student’s communication skills by allowing them to step outside of their comfort zone and learn the subject from a new viewpoint.

Furthermore, biotechnology study abroad programs in some parts of the world will provide access to technology and coursework that is more advanced than what you may have access to at your home institution. Foreign universities with established biotechnology programs will have advanced laboratory settings, and typically significant research funding accessible to students and faculty.

Educationally, studying biotechnology abroad is a smart move, but it’s also a good decision for you personally. Biotechnology students are drawn to the subject because of its ability to help people, whether by improving crop yield in countries that might not have enough food for their population or creating pharmaceuticals that can treat dangerous diseases. That same desire to help people can lead you to study abroad, where you will meet people from all walks of life, dive into the traditions of another land, and help broaden your global perspective.
