DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

The B.S. Degree in Biotechnology is designed to give you fundamental training in basic scientific principles as well as in specific concepts, techniques, and applications used in biotechnology. The Biotechnology B.S. is rigorous degree, providing excellent preparation for medical school, dental school, and graduate school, as well as for jobs in the life sciences. The students may seek their career in educational institutes, scientific research and development, management in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector.

Mission of BS-Biotechnology

To prepare qualified graduates equipped with knowledge, latest technological skills and innovative research expertise in the field of biotechnology, attained in a collegiate environment supported through national and international  linkages, for provision of high quality services in the society to serve community.

Program Learning Outcomes of BS-Biotechnology

• Graduates will be prepared with an ability to apply fundamental and specialized knowledge of biotechnology to the solution of complex biotechnological problems

• Graduates will be able to deliver an ability to identify, formulate, research literature, analyze complex biotechnology problems, reaching substantiated conclusions towards formulation of hypothesis using fundamental principles of biotechnology.
• The graduates will have an ability to design experimental solutions to validate biotechnology Hypothesis and design process while maintaining biotechnology standards, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
• An ability to investigate complex issues in biotechnology in a methodical way including literature survey, and development of systems, analysis and interpretation of experimental data, and synthesis of information to derive valid conclusions.

Rationale for the BS-Biotechnology Programme:

Biotechnology refers to the employment of various types of “technology” to use, exploit, modify or improve existing biological processes for a specific purpose; its overarching goal is to enhance the quality of human life – be it directly or indirectly – by producing and/or developing effective pharmaceuticals, bioenergy, disease-resistant and high-yield crops as well as animals, and microbes for remediation in an efficient, cost-effective and ethically responsible manner. The field has already shown immense promise and further innovations are certain to culminate in dramatic improvements in existing technologies and outcomes. Biotechnology is the next wave of change that is likely to be as sweeping and invasive as that brought about by information technology.

Eligibility Criteria of Admission in BS-Biotechnology:

Candidates having 50% marks or above in Intermediate Science (Premedical/ Pre-Engineering) or equivalent examination are eligible to apply and all candidates seeking admission are required to appear in entrance test which will be conducted by Bahria University on particular time and date.
