Hi everyone!
I am new in this forum. I have just read some of your discussions and posts and I am really getting interested.
However, I am a graduate student in Biotechnology (BSc) and I will probably graduate within the next year. My future plan is to get a MSc degree in the UK, but I am a little bit hesitant about what Biotechnology's field I will specialize in.      
Could anyone of you give me any suggestions or tell me your personal experiences?
Thank you in advance

Hello Chiara,
If you wish to go for MSc in UK, you may choose Immunology or Industrial Microbiology as your specialization. Both fields are hot in context of research in Healthcare and Production respectively. In the event of unavailability of specialization in Industrial Microbiology, you may opt for Microbiology or Food Biotechnology or Transgenics.

Immunology would be more challenging as well as exciting, as a lot is yet to be explored for fighting human diseases.

If you wish to pursue a groundbreaking career in research, I would suggest to either go for Immunology or Biomedical Sciences or Bioinformatics.

For corporate job oriented career, Microbiology / Food Biotec / Industrial Microbiology would be suitable.

Hope it helps

Best wishes

Sunil
