Well, I’m gonna talk about my course for this post. First time I enter the course, Biotechnology and Medical Bioscience, I have no idea of what they actually teach us and what I would become after taking those. I just knew that it must contain most of the biology and a bit of chemistry, and which is true. Now, I’m already in the 3rd year of my course, which nearly complete my Biotechnology course with one more semester to go, and with 2 more semesters for the other course.
From what I understand so far in these 2.5 years of studying Biotechnolgy, they actually involve in manipulating genes, which is out genetic materials. It actually teaches us of using living organisms and make a better use of it producing products. Like yogurt, it is one of the biotechnology product in which bacteria called Lactobacillus is used in yogurt production.
I really admire this course as it is difficult to understand (for me 
), complicated but interesting at the same time. As I said before, it involves in manipulating our genetic materials. It can change the sequence, or delete the particular function, mutate it to see what comes out of it, transferring the genes from one organisms to another with different species, etc. And biotechnology is very useful to identify or examine genetic diseases. Usually, people who are taking this course mostly becomes researchers. But I don’t want to be researcher in the future and still searching what other jobs that actually need biotechnology. I do like doing research for a while, or working in the lab for sometimes but not to spend it for my whole life, I would like to do something different and still searching for it. But I do know, that it is very useful knowldge and hopefully I don’t have difficulty in finding jobs in the future :d
As for Medical Bioscience, I’m not quite clear what it actually teaches as I only took some of it subjects and next year I’ll become clearer on the course content, but i believe that it is connected to medical worlds. That is all for my course information.
