Program name Bachelor’s degree in Plant Biotechnology
Department of nature and life sciences
Program name: Bachelor’s degree in Plant Biotechnology
- Level: Bachelor
- Domain: Biology
- Field: Biotechnology
- Specialty: Plant Biotechnology
- Program Description:
This training aims to acquire the basic concepts and techniques used in the field of plant biology, in order to preserve species and increase the production of crops of economic interest (food, industrial, pharmaceutical and ornamental, etc.)
Students will receive fundamental knowledge of different disciplines (plant biology, plant propagation techniques, crop alteragenic and pathogenic factors and control methods used to combat pathogens).
We plan to contribute in this way to the training of graduates with proven skills for the region of Oum El Bouaghi, which has an agro-pastoral vocation.
- Entry Requirements
The programme aims to provide candidates with fundamental and applied inter-disciplinary knowledge, practical and analytical skills, and critical thinking in biotechnology, as well as the ability to adapt to the rapid advancements in this field and its related fields such as policies, regulations, business, legal, ethics and the socioeconomic aspects. The candidates should be able to develop the capacity to pursue lifelong learning, to undertake research, to demonstrate professionalism and explore entrepreneurial opportunities from the programme. Candidates should be able to work cooperatively with minimal guidance to comprehend a given project, lead and conduct research as well as analyse, report and communicate the outcomes, thus contributing to the current needs and future developments in the industry.
