Goals &

Vision

Enhance and update students' knowledge in Biochemistry and Biomedical Science

Give students a comprehensive training in the state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies used in Biochemistry and Biomedical Technology.

Provide students the skills on research, analytical and innovative thinking, in addition to the integration of theory and application

Cultivate the ability of critical thinking, a proactive and responsible attitude and efficient communication skills for high competitiveness in further study and career development

+ Achieving these, MScBBB graduates are expected to attain FIVE Programme Learning outcomes (PLOs).

At first, I wasn’t sure where this program would take me, but after completing it, I can assure you that it is worth experiencing. MSc BBB program aims to equip you with professional knowledge and research methods in Biochemical and Biomedical Sciences, from basic genetics to clinical diseases, which are all essential in Life Sciences. Most importantly, this program encourages you to explore your research interests through a research-based MSc project with the guidance of professors in the related field, which has also strengthened my determination to pursue further studies.

While at the CUHK campus, being friends with students from different cultural and educational backgrounds has fostered my sense of diversity, enhanced my understanding of various careers, and broadened my future opportunities. I am very grateful to all the professors and the supporting staff of this program, and I would recommend this program to those with strong curiosities in the Biological Sciences.
