Biochemical Technology
The division of biochemical technology offers graduate program leading to a Master of Science in Biochemical Technology and a Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemical Technology. The students are required to take courses on fundamental biochemical technology and to select a group of electives to gain in depth specialization and/or to broaden the knowledge in specific field. Research thesis will allow students to obtain opportunity to carry out research under the guidance of advisor.
