Highlights

The programme is expanded upon the curriculum of the Advanced Diploma in Bioscience programme. It aims to provide students with further theoretical knowledge and practical laboratory skills necessary for the field of bioscience. It also equips students with knowledge and skills of biological applications in specialised areas, such as Public Health, Medical Laboratory Science, and Food Safety, allowing them to explore specific fields of interest and develop expertise in those domains. 

Intended Learning Outcomes
 

On completion of the programme, students should be able to  

  1. Evaluate scientific findings in life science disciplines and interpret their implications; 
  2. Interpret and explain the chemical mechanisms and interactions involved in various levels of biological systems; 
  3. Conduct experiments to investigate biological functions and analyse experimental data to draw valid conclusions; 
  4. Collaborate with peers in the workplace, with effective communication and problem solving skills; 
  5. Explain the procedures and approaches applied in testing laboratories; and 
  6. Utilise and navigate various resources and tools in bioscience.
