I.Program Objective
This program is dedicated to educating undergraduates to get comprehensive development in moral, intelligent and physical abilities, to possess solid ground of fundamental theory, wide-ranged knowledge and strong practical ability, especially in the fields of bioinformation acquisition, processing, exploitation and application, to meet the requirements of new century development of life science and biotechnology-related industries. As a result, the graduates can be engaged in the basic research of life science, the technology development or management in industries related to biotechnology, information technology and so on.
Ⅱ.Learning Outcomes
Students should possess essential theories and knowledge in life science, computer technology, bioinformation technology and so on, and be well educated in engineering training and practice. The graduates are expected to be qualified for Research & Development in life science and development, and to play an important role in the transformation and industrialization of research results.
By the time of graduation, the students of the program are required to possess:
1.Solid ground in mathematics, physics and chemistry;
2.Principles and methods of biological science and technology, medicine, pharmacy, computer technology, and bioinformation technology;
3.Strong ability and skills of solving real-world problems with computer and bioinformation technology;
4. Strong English language ability;
5. Ability in searching for references, documents, and writing scientific articles
6. Attainment in humanities & art, cooperative and organizational skills
7. Sense of creation and innovation.
