B.Sc -Biotechnology  

Duration: 4 Yrs

Medium of Instruction: English  

Education Aim:  

The students of this specialty will not only master the basic theory about bioscience, but also master the basic theory, knowledge and technology about biotechnology systematically after four-year studies. The students not only work as a teacher in a college or as a researcher in an institution, but also can find a fitting job in an enterprise and the department of the government in industry, medicine, food, agriculture, forestry, fishing, environmental protection and gardening, where he can be engaged in application and developing researching or administration related to biotechnology, or in management of production.

The student will be all-round developed in morality, intelligence and physical fitness. They will have a firm basis on his specialty and a wide knowledge of the specialty.

Intelligent education:  

The students of this specialty will study mainly basic theory and basic knowledge about biotechnology. And he will be also trained with scientific thinking and scientific experimental skills about basic application researching and exploiting. He has better scientific attainments, as well as the elementary abilities of teaching, researching, exploiting and managing.

As a qualified graduate, he should gain the following knowledge and abilities:

I.  Master the basic theory and knowledge in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

II. Grasp the basic theory, knowledge and experimental skills in specialized subjects, for example, general biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, genetic engineering, fermentation engineering, cell engineering and basic principles of biotechnology and methods of product exploitation.

III. Understand the general principles and knowledge of specialties related to biotechnology.

IV. Know well the related policy and law, the knowledge property right and bioengineering safety rules of biotechnology industry.

V. Keep informed of the latest theory, application prospects and the development of biotechnology including the developmental condition of biotechnology industry.

    VI. Know well how to search documents and to gain useful information by means of modern information technology. Have the ability of arranging experiments, analyzing experimental results, drawing conclusions and writing thesis, as well as attending academic communication.

Practical education:

The student will do graduation practice at the eighth semester, and will be required to write his graduation thesis and to do thesis defense during the following 16 weeks.
