Description 介绍
Biotechnology aims to apply the latest molecular approaches to develop technologies and novel products to address modern-day problems in food production, healthcare, industrial and environmental sectors.
This degree emphasizes on applications of recent biotechnological advances to reduce hunger, combat diseases, produce cleaner energy and to develop more efficient manufacturing processes. Topics covered include genomics and proteomics, genetic engineering and modifications of microorganisms, crops and animals, detection of food pathogens and development of novel industrial products, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.
The course allows a high degree of specialisation into various areas of biotechnology in years two and three. Specialistareas include plant, microbial/industrial, medical/pharmaceutical biotechnology. The course includes an optional industrial placement in year 2, which will enable you to gain industry experience, crucial for your career development and employment. In year 3, you will carry out a research project which will help to develop specialist knowledge in an area of your choice and transferable skills including data analysis and presentation, effective communication and independent thinking.
The School of Biosciences at The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus enjoys close teaching and research links with the department in the UK. Alongside a commitment to innovative teaching, the School of Biosciences is an internationally-recognised leader in several fields, including plant and food production, food quality and safety, nutrition, and environmental protection. The latest UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) confirmed the School’s top position in our research areas.
