The curriculum is designed to allow the students to first acquire the basic knowledge and experimental skills in the biology and biochemistry of plants and animals, at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. They then can select and focus on microbial, animal, and /or plant biotechnology. In addition, students will gain experience in the principles and techniques in biotechnology through specially designed laboratory courses. There is also a course in business and social aspects of biotechnology. The highlight of the training is a year long Senior Experimental Project which includes individually supervised research projects in research laboratories and symposium-type presentations of results.
