Credits BIOTECHNOLOGY

The Master of Science in Biotechnology
Programme is a fresh take in our effort to
explore and address the current advances
of Biotechnology going into 2021 and
beyond. This programme is revised to be
aligned with goals, objectives, learning
outcomes and program design based on
the 2nd Edition Biotechnology Program
Standards from the MQA (MQA Program
Standards: Biotechnology Second Edition,
2019) with emphasis on the latest industry
developments and needs.

This programme involves the integration of
knowledge and skills absorbed from
disciplines covering Microbiology,
Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular Biology
and Bioinformatics. It also contains
Bioentrepreneurship and Technology
Transfer components, to produce graduates
who can identify current issues relating to
copyright and bioethics, with a high
entrepreneurial mindset for developing
Biotechnology-based industries and
businesses. With the advent of the Industrial
Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) and the growing
abundance of data-centric information, our
programme also ensures the inclusion of,
and the emphasis on biological big data
analyses from various omics technologies
and bioinformatics to be in relevant use
along with the conventional biotechnological
methods.
