生物技术是化学原理的应用
Biotechnology is the application of the principles of chemistry, biochemistry and microbiology to the development of new technologies. Both Microbiology and Chemistry share in the teaching and administration of the program, The Honours and cooperative work-study (co-op) programs provide experience in government, private sector and research laboratories. The Department of Microbiology, in conjunction with other departments, offers several programs of study, some of which lead to Honours or Major degrees in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Genetics. Although the core subjects are similar, each program places its emphasis on different areas of study. Further specialization, according to the student's interest, is also possible by appropriate selection of optional courses. Graduates from these programs have been successful in finding employment and in entering and completing graduate studies in schools throughout Canada and the USA. Others have entered professional schools (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine) having acquired an invaluable background in modern microbiological studies.
