About Temasek Polytechinc's Biotechnology Course

 
The three year full-time Diploma in Biotechnology is designed to develop skilled technologists with strong analytical and technical know-how to meet the growing demand in the healthcare and biotechnology industries. As an applied science course, the course content heavily emphasises on scientific training. In the first two years of the course, students will be provided with a strong foundation of the medical and applied sciences. Two specialised options namely, the General Biotechnology and the Medical Technology options, will be available in the final year of study.

    In the General Biotechnology option, the emphasis will be on scientific and practical knowledge and skills in genetic engineering, plant and animal cell culture, bioprocess technology, hybridoma technology, agrotechnology and farm management as well as in good laboratory practice and quality management.

    In the Medical Technology option, the course will emphasise on practical knowledge and laboratory techniques in pathology, haematology, clinical chemistry, blood banking, immunology, and histology as well as in good laboratory practice and quality management.

    Practical training with industry for a period of 10 weeks after the first semester of second year will not only enable the students to apply their acquired knowledge and understanding in both fields of biotechnology and medical technology, but also enable them to develop interpersonal communication skills in an actual working environment.
