Biotechnology is based on the life sciences. Combined with engineering principles. It uses biological systems, designed and built for the expected nature of the new species or new line, to solve production and practical problems in biological, pharmaceutical, and environmental fields.

This program covers life sciences from many sub-disciplines, disciplines with cross-penetration from the chemical, pharmaceutical, engineering, mathematics, microelectronics, and computer science disciplines. It is based on biological theory, systematic study of the basic theoretical knowledge of life sciences, basic experimental skills and basic engineering design principles.

Graduates of this major can be engaged in basic knowledge and basic ability of scientific research, new technology and new product research and development in the field of life science and biotechnology, and can undertake scientific research, teaching, design, manufacturing and technical management in biochemical analysis and detection, cell biology, genetic engineering, neurobiology and other fields. The employment fields of graduates of this major include general colleges and universities (teaching, teaching aids, etc.), environmental protection, hospitals, food and drug management departments, pharmaceutical, functional food, cosmetics and other enterprises (R&D, production and management departments). Graduates with a good foundation in biology, chemistry and mathematics, you can continue to pursue postgraduate studies in "Biology", "Pharmacy", "Chemistry", "Bioengineering" and "Biomedical Engineering", or further study in related fields overseas.
