Message:
BiotechnologyThe Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology)programme unique course layout combinesextensive study of science theory withintensive laboratory work, bringingscience out of books and classrooms intoreal world environments.Biotechnology is a rapidly emergingindustry in Malaysia, and technicianswell versed in molecular biology,genetics, genomics or plantbiotechnology are necessary to push theboundaries of science and imagination.

The programme provides ‘high tech’educational experience whichincorporates both effectiveclassroom-based learning and the use ofrelevant educational technologies. Theprogramme improves the quality of thestudent learning experience within andbeyond the classroom.Students have the opportunity to undergoIndustrial Training in government orprivate agencies of their choice (eg.JPH, MARDI, MPOB, IBHK, pathology labs,hospitals, pharmaceutical companies)where they will gain working experience.

The research project component providestraining opportunities to carry outresearch in well-equipped world classresearch laboratories.This programme is a major inBiotechnology. Upon graduation,candidates will be conferred withBachelor of Science degree.“A comprehensive Biotechnologyundergraduate programme that preparesstudents for careers in research,education and industry.”
