The main theme of the programme will be the introduction of the key concepts and practical techniques in biotechnology and their application in various fields. Classroom-based teaching on concepts in biotechnology will be supplemented with tutorials and laboratory sessions. The laboratory sessions will be blended in with the group project to let the students reinforce the concepts and laboratory techniques which they have learnt. Generic skills such as reading scientific articles and laboratory manuals, interpretation of data, use of on-line data searching tools, and presentation skills will also be addressed. The students will conclude their research findings with a group presentation at the last day of the programme.

本課程的重點為生物科技的主要概念及有關的實驗技巧，以及生物科技在不同範疇的應用。教學模式為課堂授課輔以導修課及實驗課，而實驗課與小組專題研習同步進行以強化學員的實驗技巧及有關概念。課程中對學員的共通能力訓練包括閱讀科學文獻及實驗操作手冊、解析實驗數據、網上實驗數據搜集、及簡報技巧等。學員需於課程末段對專題研習的結果作小組簡報。
