(1) This major is closely related to practice, combining science and engineering, involving health, medicine, agriculture, food, environment and other fields, so graduates of this major can go to enterprises, companies or institutions related to biology, agriculture, medicine, food fermentation or environmental protection to engage in new product research and development, actual production or quality control;
(two) engaged in the marketing and promotion of medical devices, drugs, food and other biological products. , in various biotechnology companies or related enterprises;
(3) Continue to pursue advanced studies in China and pursue master's degrees in biology, medicine, food and other related majors;
(4) Go abroad for further study and study for master's/doctor's degrees in biology, medicine, food and other related majors.
At present, the demand for talents in biotechnology major is mainly reflected in the forefront, so the employment prospects of undergraduate graduates are difficult, but the employment of high-level talents is still very good; The main employment direction of graduates is all kinds of biological products enterprises, most of which are biopharmaceuticals, beverages and foods, health care products enterprises and so on.
Biotechnology, as a high-tech discipline, must be cultivated for a long time before it can show certain effects in practical application. Therefore, unless you plan to join this industry from the beginning and have been studying for a master's degree, there is a lot of room for development. At the same time, due to the excessive investment in biotechnology and the limited state funds, the state focuses on developing a few colleges and universities, so the level of domestic colleges and universities varies greatly, so we should choose carefully.
