Student Sharing As a biotechnology student who is passionate about research, I was thrilled with the opportunities that HKUST provided for me to gain hands-on research experience in topnotch facilities and laboratories! Without such opportunities, I would not have found my research interest and reached the point where I could pursue a PhD in the United States. • Applied Bioscience Track This track is designed to enrich students’ academic experience through a variety of experiential learning and project-based learning opportunities. Students address realworld problems in biotechnology by formulating experimental strategies, developing innovative solutions, and translating practical knowledge into societal impact. • Entrepreneurship Track This track is designed to enrich students’ vision and knowledge of entrepreneurship through a range of co-curricular activities. Students are equipped to develop integrated commercial solutions for both academic and real-world problems in biotechnology. They are also encouraged to participate in internal and external entrepreneurial competitions, transforming their ideas into viable commercial practice. Program Overview The Biotechnology (BIOT) program is designed to encompass the research and development of biotechnology products and services, including medicines, cosmetics, health supplements and genetic diagnostics. The program provides students with theoretical and practical knowledge of the latest biotechnological developments, with a particular focus on the applied aspects of life science. The curriculum also provides a foundational understanding of key concepts across diverse areas of the life sciences, including biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology and genetics. BIOT students can select one of two distinct study tracks, each offering their unique strengths and specialized focus areas: BIOTECHNOLOGY (BIOT) 11
