About
As one of the first Biotechnology education providers in the Malaysian private higher education sector, we have numerous strategic tie-ups with some of the world's biggest companies in science. This opens doors for students and staff through technology transfers, internship opportunities, numerous site visits, industry talks on campus, and, of course, job opportunities. Versatility is a hallmark of the programme. As a student of this programme, you will be addressing critical issues in biotechnology through the study of genetic engineering, pharmacology, fermentation technology, among others. You will complement your abiding interests in science with the market sense to translate academic mastery into business opportunities. And with a firm footing in both fields, doors will open wherever you go.
