MASTER IN BIO-TECHNOLOGY
As the world is becoming increasingly advanced in industrial, environmental, and healthcare management, the Department of Biotechnology envisions to be a leader to play a pivotal role in providing a platform for enriching knowledge, synthesize ideas, and innovate in basic and applied biological sciences. Our department will polish the students to bring out their finest talents with strong academic, practical, professional, and co-curricular attributes, preparing them for the competitive world and to serve society.
Department Mission
The mission of our department is to provide holistic education to students. The preliminary objective is to invoke critical scientific thinking abilities in students by educating them in basic and applied areas of biological science. Students will be trained by diverse scientific attributes for identification, critical analysis, and solving scientific challenges for the improvisation of industrial processes and management of the environment and healthcare sector. Students will achieve these goals by linking the theoretical knowledge and practical skill sets to real-life scientific problems and identifying the pathways to solve them. Realtime exposure from industrial visits and internships will thrive them to become competitive. Research projects will be an integral part of academics, which will help them to think out of the box and work in a team.
Welcome to the Department of Bio-Technology
I welcome you to the Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Sciences, Marwadi University. Our department is envisioned to provide world-class teaching/training at Post Graduate (M.Sc.) and Doctoral (Ph. D.) Programs. Our M.Sc. The biotechnology program aims to enrich students with advanced knowledge of biotechnology and prepares them to contribute significantly in the area of life science industries, health care, and environmental management.
Our department is blessed to have experienced doctoral faculties with sound research knowledge. Their education and research experience at national and international institutes of importance is instrumental in developing students for a carrier in biotechnology industries, research, or academics.
We look forward to giving you a great knowledge-enriching experience to pursue your academic and research aspirations.
