Bachelor in Biotechnology – Drug discovery
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
|
Continuing to flourish nationwide, the Pharmaceutical, Medical, and Agronomical Biotechnology industry keep growing firmly. Career possibilities are endless in the rapidly-expanding discipline of Biotechnology, Medicine, Agriculture, and Pharmacology.
To keep up with these increasing opportunities, the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH) had been designed with the modern and advanced Bachelor Curricula in Biotechnology – Drug discovery with more than 30 majored courses in 2 specialized educated years.
Our program aims at controlling a set of concepts, principles, and methods of science related to Pharmaceutical, Medical and Agronomical Biotechnology. The designed program enables students to acquire the best knowledge, skills in all fields of pharmaceutical, medical and agronomical Biotechnology supporting your employed competition in a market highly exigent.
The curriculum equips a solid foundation in chemistry, biology, biotechnology, informatics and communication. The program also builds a core of knowledge on biological sciences (Integrated physiology, Fundamental and advanced microbiology, Stem cell biology, Molecular biology etc.) as well as provides all basic laboratory working skills. The other advanced courses aim to master techniques and knowledge in engineered and applied biotechnology. To complete and open their background in biotechnological science, students will complete a “group project”, realize a 3 months internship, and will participate in elective courses.
