Here i can give you picture of both field
MSc in Biotechnology
An MSc in Biotechnology will give you more hands on experience
but teaches you little of the business world. You will likely have a
much broader biotechnology background when you graduate but, you will
mostly be qualified only to do further research (either as a technician
or to go on to a PhD).
Neither of these is a bad option. It really depends more on
what you want to do. With an MBA in Biotechnology you are more likely
looking at a job in Administration, Management, Marketing, or Sales.
One word of caution, many biotech companies still prefer to hire people
with PhDs for many of the upper level management positions, with the
exception of some key very top positions (CEO, CFO). Of course, you are
going to have to work your way up no matter what you do.
With a MSc you are more likely to head into a position as a
Technician, Scientific Associate, or to continue on in graduate studies
to get your PhD. MSc's often find themselves in a good position to take
on a teaching position either at the high school or trade school level
as well.
One other option of course is to do the MSc and then a separate
MBA. This is the broadest scope of all and, far and away in my opinion,
the most marketable
The Significance of Introducing M.Sc., Eco- Biotechnology
Rapid Industrialization and Urbanization are inevitable for the economy of the country. The factor that strongly influences our life-style and well being, in spite of we being oblivious of it, is the environment. One of the realizations of 21st century is that the mother earth in finite and that any non-sustainable exploitation of the same would lead to environmental problems. To understand the environment thoroughly, it is essential to become part and parcel of it, to analyze the principles and issues of
Environmental Science and relate them to our everyday life. Illustrating Scientific principles by worldwide and familiar examples, and encouraging the budding Scientists- ‘students’ to become personally involved in solving environmental problems will lead to manifold benefits on a tremendous scale. When problems are viewed or covered as large-scale or global issues. Students are to be encouraged to act locally as well.
The study of environmental science is dynamic, it is difficult to keep pace with the rapid advances in the field until and unless we narrow down to specialize in this field. The ultimate motive of such a specialization is to have an improved scientific understanding of how environmental systems work and a better ability to predict the consequences of human and non-human disruptions of the environment. This will further help to provide a solid scientific basis for understanding how various environmental issues are linked and to come out with practical approach to tackle such issues.
Improper disposal of toxic and hazardous wastes, deterioration of ground water quality, the build up of green house gases and the resulting possibility of global climatic change, and the thinning of the stratospheric ozone layer are among the major environmental concerns which elaborate
the links between the recklessness on the part of humans, human population growth and environmental deterioration. These issues infuse in the young minds the increased demand for resources, which threatens the quality and availability of adequate fresh water, food, energy, power and living space. This awareness would not only highlight the present global scenario but also
will provoke the young minds to invest their technical know – how to come out with remedial measures. For this a complete knowledge of the various other disciplines like Physics, Chemistry, Fermentation technology, Geology, Remote sensing and the different facts of Biology is imperative. This
culmination is possible only with the application of Biotechnology. So, this unique course leading to Masters Degree in Eco-Biotechnology will serve all the above mentioned purposes and would contribute precisely to eco - friendly environment.
