In the context of the science and technology strategies that have positioned biotechnology as one of the most crucial fields in the knowledge-based society of the 21st century, biotechnology stands as an industry built upon bio-technologies. It leverages the functions and information of living organisms to produce valuable substances and services that are essential for humanity. The Biotechnology major aims to cultivate practical professionals who can work in various bio-industries such as pharmaceuticals, functional foods, cosmetics, and more. To foster professionals with a strong practical foundation, the program offers courses in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, biotechnology, genetics, GMP, and GLP. Additionally, it provides laboratory experimentation opportunities in these subjects, allowing graduates to acquire the fundamental knowledge and research and development capabilities necessary to work in diverse bio-industry sectors.
The Biotechnology major is committed to elevating the educational and research capabilities in the field of biotechnology from a regional university level to a national top-tier level. To achieve this, it has established a strategic plan and operation around three key elements. First, in the realm of education, the major aims to produce creative and practical talents in the field of biotechnology by setting sub-goals such as differentiation in general education, reinforcement of specialized education, and activation of practical education. Second, the major is staffed with outstanding professors in the field of biotechnology who oversee departmental education and research. To enhance practical education, the major also collaborates with experts from national research institutions and industrial companies located in nearby areas like the Osong Life Science Cluster and Osong Science Industry Complex. This collaboration includes lectures, research cooperation, and strategies to connect students with employment opportunities. Third, the major strives to modernize its lectures and experiment facilities to facilitate more practical education. Furthermore, it actively promotes periodic career education, including inviting industry experts for special lectures and encouraging internships in industrial companies to motivate students for employment prospects.
