This program explores the core scientific foundations of biotechnology – including chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology – while exploring its practical applications in fields like business, ethics, and environmental science. The flexible curriculum enables students to complement their studies with minors or electives in chemistry, environmental science, or other disciplines such as business, IT, and design.
The program's primary objective is to equip graduates with the expertise, competencies, and professional mindset required for scientific careers in their chosen specialization. Upon completion, graduates will be qualified for professional roles or advanced studies at honors and postgraduate levels.
Upon earning a Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology), students will be capable of:
Articulating scientific methodologies, explaining how current knowledge remains open to challenge and verification, and demonstrating science's societal relevance
Showcasing comprehensive scientific understanding through mastery of at least one specialized discipline
Solving complex scientific challenges by assessing diverse information sources, designing investigations, applying appropriate techniques, and interpreting data to form conclusions
Communicating scientific concepts effectively to various audiences through multiple formats and purposes
Taking responsibility for their learning and professional development by working independently or collaboratively, adhering to regulatory standards, and maintaining ethical practices
