Thanks for your insight Vene One last question.... If I'm doing a PhD in a life sciences field, will it allow me any degree of flexibility i.e. will I be able to pursue a second degree in something like business or law maybe?

So, to clarify what you're saying, the internship and the thesis may be counted as research experience themselves? Or do I need to get some additional experience after I graduate? My target is to apply for Spring '16 programs, so i presume i might have time to utilize after graduation. I've noticed some institutions do offer masters degree programs when it comes to Biomedical sciences (one of the fields I plan on applying to). Other than the differences in completion time, scope of research/study and other criteria, is there any distinct difference between a Masters degree and a PhD in biology based fields, especially in the context of jobs besides teaching?

Hi guys! I'm an international applicant who will be graduating soon with a B.Sc. degree in Biotechnology, so the prospect of apply abroad for graduate studies has been in my mind for quite sometime. But I have doubts on the quality of the application that I will be sending out. My main cause of concern is my lack of research experience in my field of study. Research opportunities in my country are hard to come by and normally those that are available prefer students who have already graduated with at least an undergraduate degree. However, I did an internship at an industrial B.tech laboratory as part of a course and currently working on my thesis project. Added to the expected graduating gpa of 3.4-3.5, would this be enough to put forward a solid application for any research oriented graduate programs (excluding the SOP and test scores)???

Sorry for the late reply. To answer you question, I'm interested in the business/management aspects of Biotechnology or anything related to law. Other than that, something related to advanced research like genetics or maybe cellular engineering.... I hope that wasn't too vague of an answer.

What are the prospective fields of study one can apply to with an undergrad degree in Biotechnology? I've been searching the net for advice on this, but so far I haven't found anything concrete. Thank you

anyone?

Hi there!! This is my first post in this forum so please let me know if there's anything wrong in this post. I'm an undergraduate student from Bangladesh studying Biotechnology, currently in my final year (will be graduating by March next year with an expected GPA of 3.4-3.5). I'm planning on applying for graduate studies in Biomedical Engineering for Spring 2016 session, but I'm not entirely sure whether I would be a good fit for that area of study. So my question is, will there be any hurdles that might prevent me from applying to my chosen area of study? |f there are no problems, which countries would be best for pursuing a Masters in BioMed Engineering other than the US? In case of the US, which institutions would be good targets for applying? Thank you
