Biotechnology majors cultivate applied talents with good ideological quality and humanistic quality, master the basic theory, basic knowledge and experimental skills of biotechnology, be able to engage in the production, application, technology development and management of biotechnology and related fields, and have strong learning ability, research ability and innovation and entrepreneurship ability.

First of all, the interest in biology should be the first. The connotation of biotechnology is very extensive, including the study of macro-organisms such as animals and plants, as well as the study of micro-worlds such as microorganisms.

Students' practical ability is necessary; About 40% of the learning content of biotechnology specialty is mastered through practical operation and practical innovation research, from basic courses to scientific research training of various courses, to participating in specific scientific research projects in interested laboratories, and finally to graduation practice (thesis). In addition, to engage in the research and development or entrepreneurship of these high-tech biotechnology products, students not only need the ability of diligent thinking and continuous learning, but also need to explore unknown curiosity.

Secondly, because biotechnology is the latest technology based on biological research, English literature needs to be read in course learning, and domestic experts in related fields often teach and offer some bilingual courses, so students' oral English and reading ability are also very important for their professional learning.

Finally, students majoring in biotechnology should master the basic theories, knowledge and skills of modern biology and biotechnology, and focus on cultivating students' life science literacy, biotechnology innovation ability, biological experiment ability, problem-finding and problem-solving ability. Students are required to have the basic scientific research characteristics of loving life science, being brave in innovation, being diligent in doing things, and being good at observing and thinking.

The main core courses of biotechnology specialty include theoretical courses such as biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, genetics, ecology and bioengineering, as well as characteristic practical courses such as biochemistry experiment, microbiology experiment, cell biology experiment, genetics experiment, comprehensive experiment and professional practice.
