Biotechnology is based on the life sciences. Combined with engineering principles. It uses biological systems, designed and built for the expected nature of the new species or new line, to solve production and practical problems in biological, pharmaceutical, and environmental fields. This program covers life sciences from many sub-disciplines, disciplines with cross-penetration from the chemical, pharmaceutical, engineering, mathematics, microelectronics, and computer science disciplines. It is based on biological theory, systematic study of the basic theoretical knowledge of life sciences, basic experimental skills and basic engineering design principles.

Graduates have knowledge about biotechnology and engineering design, production, management and new technology research as well as new product development. Graduates are qualified to work in the fields of biology, medicine, environment, agriculture, marine, light and chemical industry enterprises and administrative departments in the application of biotechnology-related research, technology development, production management, and administration.

The core courses include Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Bioinformatics, Genetic Engineering, Protein and Enzyme Engineering, Microbiological Engineering, and Bioseparation Engineering. Special courses include Bioinformatics, Immunology, Genetic Engineering, Protein and Enzyme Engineering, and Microbiological Engineering.
