• Everything You Wanted to Know About ITMO’s Master’s Programs in Biotechnology

  According to Rosstat, chemical biotechnology is among the disciplines in which 72 to 96% of students build careers in fields relevant to their major. It’s no accident that this discipline is in demand. According to the UN’s annual report, around 820 million people globally don’t have access to a sufficient amount of food supply. And the number keeps growing year after year. At the same time, there’s an increase in the number of people suffering from excessive weight and obesity.

Trained professionals were needed in this field – and that was when the biotechnologist profession came into being. Now, you can become one by studying at ITMO. Over 50% of employers in the field of food manufacturing in Russia are ready to offer new staff members a starting salary of 50,000 rubles.
