Program Learning Outcomes Statement

Upon completion of this certificate you will have made progress towards achieving the following program learning outcomes. Each of these program learning outcomes is developed in much greater depth in the Bachelor Science (Biotechnology) program:

1. Understanding science

1.1 You will demonstrate a coherent understanding of biological sciences by articulating the methods of science and explaining why current biological knowledge is both contestable and testable through further inquiry.
1.2 You will demonstrate a coherent understanding of biological sciences by explaining the role and relevance of biological sciences in society.

2. Scientific knowledge

2.1 You will exhibit depth and breadth of knowledge by demonstrating a well-developed understanding of biological sciences.
2.2 You will exhibit depth and breadth of knowledge by demonstrating that biotechnology has interdisciplinary connections with other sciences.

3. Inquiry and problem solving

3.1 You will be able to critically analyse and solve problems in biotechnology by selecting and applying practical and/or theoretical techniques with technical competence in conducting field, laboratory-based, or virtual experiments.
3.2 You will be able to critically analyse and solve problems in biotechnology by collecting, accurately recording, interpreting, and drawing conclusions from scientific data.

4. Communication

4.1 You will be an effective communicator of biological sciences by effectively communicating scientific results, information, or arguments using a range of modes (oral, written, visual) for a variety of purposes and audiences.

5. Personal and professional responsibility

5.1 You will be accountable for individual learning and scientific work in biotechnology by being an independent and self-directed learner.
5.2 You will be accountable for individual learning and scientific work by working effectively, responsibly, ethically, and safely in an individual or team context.
