The main courses of undergraduate biology are: animal and plant physiology, genomics, immunology, ecology, microbiology, biochemistry, chemical engineering and fermentation engineering. The knowledge system of undergraduate biology-related majors in China usually consists of three parts: general courses, professional courses (subject basis and professional knowledge) and comprehensive practice courses. The subject systems involved mainly include general biology, microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, cell biology, genetics and ecology.
Main course:
The core courses of bioscience major mainly include animal biology, plant biology, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, general ecology and other disciplines.
Compulsory courses include inorganic and analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, college mathematics, college physics, biostatistics, developmental biology, introduction to biotechnology, evolutionary biology and so on.
Employment prospects:
This major requires strict professional knowledge and skills of graduates. Graduates are mainly engaged in scientific research, teaching and senior management in scientific research institutions, universities and state organs.
Biotechnology has always been a key industrial field supported by the government, and frontier research, including cloning, has been carried out with the strong support of the government, so the employment situation of related biology majors has been developing well.
Whether in research institutions or biological companies, investment is increasing every year. The growth rate of positions is also maintained at around 4-5%. Biology is an interdisciplinary subject. With the rapid development of science and technology, the division of disciplines is becoming more and more detailed, and the interdisciplinary nature of disciplines is becoming stronger and stronger. Many emerging disciplines related to biology are in the ascendant. In addition, applied disciplines related to biology include public health, food, nutrition and so on. And the talent gap is bigger than basic research.
