Professional skills covered by the program include knowledge of biochemistry and biology, laboratory techniques, and research tools, along with statistics used to describe and interpret natural phenomena. Students also learn to write required specification documents such as research procedures and instructions, to behave ethically while planning and conducting research experiments, and to apply principles of research planning using the techniques and tools used within biotechnology. The program covers quality assurance at the development, production, and quality control stages of a biotechnology product, and graduates have the opportunity to obtain certification through an external course as a Quality and Internal Audit Specialist. On the practical side, students apply research techniques and tools within the natural sciences, particularly biotechnology, and can pursue free additional certificate courses to build further specialization. Biotechnology as a discipline applies biological processes, organisms, and systems to develop products and technologies across medicine, agriculture, food, and industry. Graduates of this program are positioned for roles spanning laboratory research, industrial production, regulatory affairs, and quality assurance within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.
