Master in Bio-technology and Veterinary Science

Bio-technology and Veterinary Science at Gyeongsang National University in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, is a master's program that combines molecular biology and biotechnology methods with the study of animal health and disease. The discipline covers subjects such as molecular and cellular biology, genetic engineering, animal physiology, and applications of biotechnology to veterinary and agricultural problems, including vaccine development, disease diagnostics, and livestock improvement. Students in this program typically study laboratory techniques used in modern biotechnology alongside veterinary science fundamentals, preparing them to work on problems where biological research directly supports animal health and agricultural productivity. Because biotechnology is increasingly applied to veterinary medicine, livestock production, and animal disease control, graduates of this program can pursue careers in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, veterinary research institutions, government agencies responsible for animal health and agriculture, and academic research. All coursework in the program is delivered in English, allowing international students to study in South Korea without needing Korean-language proficiency for their classes. The program is completed over two years, with intake available for the spring semester beginning in March or the autumn semester beginning in September. Students in the program typically join laboratory-based research groups, gaining experience with the biotechnological and veterinary science methods used to study animal biology and disease. This combined focus on biotechnology and veterinary science equips graduates with skills relevant to both the life sciences industry and veterinary and agricultural sectors, offering a route into research or applied roles connected to animal health and biological innovation.
