Science and Technology is a 3-year bachelor’s programme offering a broad overview of natural and exact sciences and technologies. Students have an option to choose between 3 specialisations: genetics and biotechnology; bioengineering and robotics; chemistry and materials science. After graduating from the programme, students have an option to continue studies in any natural science field or work for technology companies in Estonia and abroad.

Obligatory base modules (48 ECTS) –
courses covering biology, chemistry, mathematics, programming, physics;
Narrow fi eld module (24 ECTS) – courses offering
fi eld knowledge in biochemistry, biology, genetics, electronics and statistics;
Specialisation modules (72 ECTS) – an option to choose one of
three study streams:
Genetics and Biotechnology (72 ECTS) – bioinformatics, genetics,
biotechnology, bio-enterprise, various biology courses;
Bioengineering and Robotics (72 ECTS) – electrical measurements, biomolecular catalysis and signaling, applied synthetic biology, robotics, systems
modeling, physiology, advanced automation, vision analysis, various engineering
courses;
Chemistry and Materials Science (72 ECTS) – spectroscopy, thin fi lm technology,
