With the aim of using living organisms, cells and their components for products and services, our curriculum is designed to contribute to the modern biotechnology education that provides multidisciplinary knowledge. It also reflects the broad spectrum of bioengineering concept as well as skills to accomplish the needs of biotechnology-based industries and also research institutes. As biotechnology is the key of this programme, we offer courses that integrate knowledge with the elements of blue biotechnology (environmental biotech), white biotechnology (industrial biotech), green biotechnology (agri-biotech) and red biotechnology (biopharma). These include gene and protein engineering technology, fermentation technology, bioprocess engineering, enzyme technology, plant and animal cell/tissue culture technology and biosensor technology. These technologies are applied in agriculture, health care, forensics, industrial processing and environmental protection / management in many useful ways. 

The first two years of this programme is emphasized on the compulsory fundamentals accounting theoretical and technical skills. Students are then exposed to a more advance knowledge in biotechnology during their third and fourth year of study. A research experience is an important component of the interdisciplinary biotechnology degree programme. Students have numerous opportunities to pursue research projects and gain experience working with state-of-the-art instrumentation under the guidance of members of the faculty. This experience is invaluable in the intellectual development of a student and in their subsequent search for technical positions in industrial, medical or government research laboratories.

Selected students will be offered to join study abroad programme at the University of Kent, United Kingdom. This programme allows students to be exposed to different ways of teaching and learning processes, gain new and more advance knowledge in biotechnology and promoting student enthusiasm to be part of biotechnology player at the international level.
