An education for the
future
Do you want to study biotechnology in a study environment with a unique collaboration between University College Absalon and the city of Kalundborg pharmaceutical industry? . You will gain knowledge in chemistry, biotechnology, mathematics, and technological processes. This can be applied in the production of medicines, food, enzymes, and materials.Other biotechnological processes that you will learn about include the purification of wastewater and the transformation of waste into sustainable products or energy. You will be acquainted with methods used in the field of biotechnology of industrial production.
Moreover, you will also obtain knowledge of engineering principles relevant to the processing of materials by microorganisms or plant and animal cells.
A great opportunity to study in Denmark’s Biotech City
Several of the world’s leading biotech companies are located in and around Kalundborg. This obviously attracts talented and competent employees from all over the world.
Absalon's Bachelor of Engineering programme is based on close cooperation with local companies – bio manufactory market leaders as Novo Nordisk, Novozymes, Equinor, Ørsted, etc. The close collaboration between education and industry makes the biotechnology programme at University College Absalon unique. In addition, you will have excellent opportunities to find a student job and internship in some of the world’s leading biotech companies.
A corps of mentors are ready to provide guidance to biotech students in Kalundborg
The purpose of the corps is to retain international students in Denmark once they complete their studies while also contributing to a stimulating and dynamic environment for the students. The help is coming from the local business community, where mentors are signing up on a voluntary basis.
One of them is Jens Henrik Mose, who works at Novo Nordisk. To him mentoring is an excellent opportunity to help and provide guidance:
“I was a tutor while studying myself, and I enjoy helping, giving advice, and passing on experiences. So when I heard about this I saw an opportunity to do it again. I have a drive to support a new student, for example, to avoid that they drop out of the programme,”
Jens’ mentee is Silvana Lazzeri. She is an international student from Italy in her third semester. She had no doubts about wanting to get a mentor:
“When you come from another country to Denmark and Kalundborg, you have so many questions that are difficult to find answers to. That goes for everyday life but definitely also in my studies.”
Student life at Campus Kalundborg
In Kalundborg, you will be part of a close and highly dedicated student environment. Together with an engaged student council, which you can also join, we ensure Friday afternoon social get-togethers, bowling trips and summer social events. Our completely new campus will open in 2021, right next to the major biotech companies opposite the Bio manufacturing Project House and within walking distance of the train station Kalundborg East, Denmark’s Biotech City.
