Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology

B.Sc Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary undergraduate science program designed for students interested in biological sciences, laboratory research, genetic technology, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and modern biotechnology. The course provides students with a strong foundation in cell biology, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, immunology, and biotechnology. Students learn how biological organisms, cells, enzymes, genes, and biomolecules can be studied and utilized for developing products and technologies. Practical laboratory training is an important component of the program. Students learn laboratory techniques such as DNA extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis, microscopy, microbial culture, chromatography, spectrophotometry, and basic molecular biology techniques under appropriate supervision. The program also introduces students to areas such as genetic engineering, bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology, pharmaceutical biotechnology, food biotechnology, and environmental biotechnology. Students may work on laboratory projects involving microorganisms, DNA, proteins, enzymes, plant tissue, biological samples, and biotechnology applications. These practical experiences help develop laboratory skills, scientific thinking, observation, data analysis, and research abilities. B.Sc Biotechnology graduates can explore opportunities in pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, diagnostic laboratories, research organizations, food industries, agricultural biotechnology, healthcare laboratories, environmental organizations, and quality-control departments.
