College Diploma - Biotechnology (BT211)

Humber’s Biotechnology diploma program prepares graduates with the transferable skills needed to build successful careers in a variety of biotechnology and research sectors. The program balances theoretical understanding with experiential practices in specific laboratory skills needed by employers. These practical components are the focus of the program and are developed and reinforced through an integration of practical laboratory experiences. Integrative laboratory projects are designed to simulate a real life experience through translation of theory to practice. The program provides a valuable specialization to students interested in life sciences programs without having to go elsewhere for practical laboratory skills training.

Students will benefit from: • • a unique integrated approach • acquiring a recognized skillset applicable to a wide variety of employment opportunities • extensive applied/hands-on laboratory experience • integrative project work that links applied and academic fields (simulating real work experiences) • laboratory skills development linked to industry demands • learning to adapt to the changing field and staying current • learning to operate laboratory equipment stable in the field of science and biotechnology • simulated learning environments
