The BSc in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at Stellenbosch University equips students to work with biological systems at the cellular and molecular level — developing medicines, improving crops, detecting pathogens, and understanding the genetic basis of disease. The programme covers microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, and molecular techniques such as PCR, gene editing, and protein expression, with applications in South Africa's pharmaceutical, agricultural biotechnology, food safety, and environmental sectors. South Africa's growing biotech industry and the global demand for molecular biology expertise make this a degree with strong career prospects both domestically and internationally.
