Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

Course Overview

A BSc in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology provides foundational knowledge in biological sciences that are applied to drug discovery, production, and quality assessment. Coursework combines cellular biology, microbial systems, biochemical methods, and pharmaceutical principles, supported by practical lab sessions that build technical confidence. Students gain familiarity with modern lab tools such as PCR machines, cell culture equipment, spectrophotometry, and enzyme assays. The program connects science theory with hands‑on practice by giving structured lab work and collaborative assignments that develop routine scientific work skills.

HDU’s science and technology focus supports these components by providing laboratory space and faculty oversight suited to practical experimental work. Students are encouraged to participate in group research tasks and senior‑year projects that address standard biotech and pharmaceutical problems. Graduates typically qualify for entry‑level positions in biopharmaceutical labs, quality control units, regulatory support offices, and related technical environments. Many also use this degree as a stepping stone to graduate study in biotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences, or biomedical engineering.
