Biotechnology

l Education goal:

Biotechnology can be broadly defined as using living organisms or cell processes to make useful products. To meet the requirements from local society, you will be trained to become a compound talent possessing broad and sounded life science knowledge, especially basic theory and skills in ocean biology. After systematic trainings in scientific research and thinking methodology, you will be able to apply the theory to practice in an innovative way. Moreover, endowed with strong social conscientiousness and competiveness, you will be qualified to take on a job in organizations of teaching, research, inspection and quarantine, environment, and pharmaceutical.

Specialization One: Applied Biochemistry and Food Safety (ABFS)

Specialization Two: Ocean Biotechnology and Drug Development (OBDD)
