The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Bioengineering is based on the fundamental principles of genetic science and bioengineering applications. The program aims to provide students with an integrated understanding of the principles of genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry and engineering.
In the first years of the curriculum, students start with the basic sciences. This includes biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. These basic subjects provide a solid foundation that will enable students to understand more complex subjects.
In advanced years, more focused courses such as genetic engineering, molecular genetics, cell biology, microbiology and biochemistry are emphasized. Students learn in detail about the structure and function of DNA and RNA, gene expression, genetic variations and their effects on organisms. Topics such as genetic diseases, gene therapy and genetic engineering techniques are also covered.
Bioengineering-related courses cover topics such as bioprocess engineering, bioreactor design, biomaterials science and bioinformatics. These courses teach students how to combine engineering principles with living systems.
Another important aspect of the program is laboratory work. Students work on real-world problems using modern laboratory techniques. This practical work develops students' skills in designing experiments, analyzing data and problem solving.
The program also focuses on ethical, legal and societal issues in genetics and bioengineering. Students have the opportunity to discuss the potential impact of technological developments in this field on society and their responsibilities.
As a result, the Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Bioengineering offers students a comprehensive and in-depth education in genetics and bioengineering. This curriculum prepares students for both academic research and industrial applications and provides them with the necessary skills for a wide range of careers.
