Bachelor of Science (Hons) Biotechnology KP/JPS(KA4115)9/08
The Bachelor of Science (Hons) Biotechnology is a growth industry with the potential to change greatly the world in which we live. The history of Biotechnology can be seen as stemming from ancient civilization with the making of soya sauce, cheese, yoghurt and the brewing of beer, to present-day applications in recombinant proteins, drugs, antibiotic synthesis and waste treatment. The more recent developments of genomics and proteomics have greatly increased the potential of biotechnology to meet our needs.

Biotechnology is a multi-disciplinary programme which encompasses fundamentals and applied aspects of biological sciences with a practical awareness of the needs and methods of modern biotechnological companies. This programme covers basic sciences, for example, chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology and core biotechnological courses for example, genetic engineering, fermentation, cell and tissue cultures, bioinformatics and phytochemistry. Industrial visits and participation of practising biotechnologists in the teaching programme through seminars and the final year research projects are important components of the programme. Through the final year project, the students will acquire specialized skills within selected areas of biotechnology such as proteomics, genomics, enzyme and protein biotechnology, protein engineering, immunology, fermentation technology, plant biotechnology, biosensor, phytomedicine and phytochemistry, bioinformatics, and cell and tissue culture.

Employment opportunities for graduates are wide and varied. For example, graduates will find employment in a variety of scientific, medical and veterinary laboratories and in industries related to the pharmaceutical, medical, food, agricultural, brewing and beverage and healthcare products, environmental control, waste treatment, diagnostics and manufacturing. They can work as Quality Assurance officers in or consultants to biotechnological industries, as scientists or researchers in research institutes and universities, and as lecturers in universities. They can also start their career as bioentrepreneurs. The graduates are also well-prepared to pursue post-graduate studies in various areas of Biotechnology.
