Bachelor of Engineering in Biotechnology
The Bachelor of Engineering in biotechnology programme started in 2017 in close co-operation with biotech companies operatinf in the Kalundborg area. The companies collaborate as part of the Kalundborg Eco-industrial Park which forms an industrial symbiosis network. Among the companies is the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk which has the world's largest insulin manufacturing site in Kalundborg.
The biotech programme combines biology, chemistry and the science of engineering and students learn hands-on with cases and projects in the international biotech companies that are located in Kalundborg. Students will have a paid internship in their last year as well as student job possibilities in the companies.
International Honours degree in teaching
The International Honours degree in teaching is located in the town of Vordingborg on the southwest coast of Zealand. The programme is focused on students who wish to become teachers with an international profile. It was developed due to the increased number of international schools worldwide creating a high demand for teachers with intercultural competences. As a response to this demand, University College Absalon developed an honours degree with an international focus.
