PhD in Biotechnology

The Department of Biotechnology builds on life science knowledge to address problems such as drug development, resource shortage, food supply and environmental pollution. It is a field in which many advanced countries compete in research and development. The graduate curriculum, which includes a cooperative biotechnology program, develops broad understanding based on the principles of chemistry, biology and bioengineering, and encourages applied skills. Education and research are carried out in cooperation with small companies, research institutes and other departments. Degrees awarded are the Master and Doctor of Science (이학석사, 이학박사) and the Master and Doctor of Engineering (공학석사, 공학박사).
