How about biotechnology?

Biotechnology is not a good major. It is not very popular, and there are relatively few people studying it. This major focuses on experiments. It is relatively difficult to find a job after graduation, and the employment rate is not good. A friend of mine is a biotechnology major, and he usually talks to me about this major. Let me introduce this major.

01-Personal feelings My friend talked about his feelings when he chose this major, that is, biotechnology is an unpopular major and there are quite a lot of courses to learn. If you want to study physical chemistry, but you don't want to study biology, your employment will be narrow in the future, even if there are not many jobs for biology companies, so I suggest you not study this major.

Introduction to Biotechnology This major mainly studies the basic theories, knowledge and skills of modern biology and biotechnology, including molecular biology, microbiology, genetic engineering, fermentation engineering and cell engineering. , mainly using biological substances to improve products, improve animals and plants, or cultivate microorganisms for special purposes. Common cloning, gene recombination technology and biological vaccine cultivation all belong to this.

And this major is really difficult, not ordinary. Biochemistry is inseparable, so all kinds of analytical chemistry, biochemistry and inorganic chemistry should be studied, but many students can't learn anything, want to take the postgraduate entrance examination further, or change careers with great probability after graduation.

03- Main courses My friend said that they have many courses in biotechnology, including microbiology, cell biology, genetics, zoology, botany, ecology, plant physiology, animal physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, industrial microbial breeding, genetic engineering, cell engineering, microbial engineering, biochemical engineering, downstream technology of bioengineering, fermentation engineering equipment, enzyme engineering and so on.

The difficulty of this major is reasonable, because the major pays more attention to hands-on operation ability and technical training, not just basic research.

04—— Employment Prospects In fact, the professional counterpart rate of undergraduate graduates majoring in biotechnology is very small, because scientific research posts have very high requirements for the professional quality of this major, and they are either masters or doctors. Therefore, in addition to continuing graduate studies, the best way out for undergraduate graduates is to turn to sales, management or education. Undergraduate students want to do research and development after graduation, and it is quite difficult to find a job because they have to face the competition from many graduate students. The employment positions of this major are as follows.

05— Summary According to the above analysis, we know that the major of biotechnology is really difficult, not only the employment is not good, but also the difficulty of taking this major is quite great. If you love it, you can choose this major. Don't choose if you don't love.
