RSMT Bio-Tech Programmes - “Building Global Standard Competence”
RSMT delivers Biotechnology programme distinct from that of other education providers. Located in a state of the art building which incorporates both teaching and research facilities together, the School is unique in having industry collaboration with leading Biotechnology & Bioinformatics companies and association with National Level Biotechnology organizations – ABLE Bangalore, AIBA New Delhi and BCIL New Delhi. We aim to nurture biotechnological professionals in a systematic and step-by-step approach, which goes from the easy to the difficult. Through the well-designed courses and modules, students may form their own interest in numerous biotechnological research areas. RSMT targets at industrial application, which may guide fundamental academic studies toward the mastery of research. With regard to research areas, the Institute attaches high priority to the local technological industries that can be developed at present or in the future. In response to the overall development of the country, the Institute also aims to cultivate advanced professionals of biotechnology for the establishment of “Royal School Bio-Technology Corridor”, in the future. Rigidly defined, the principle development direction of the Institute is on research and application of Biotechnology. Upon the completion of the course, the career opportunities for our graduates will be greatly increased due to the collaboration with the industrial circle. Our graduates will have excellent job prospects.

Advisers of Studies: In all faculties there is a Senior or Chief Adviser of Studies working with a cohort of Advisers of Studies who are academic staff and who serve to advise students about academic matters and, where necessary, about social and personal issues.

Computing Facilities: RSMT offers a wide range of computing facilities, including web-based email and internet access, to all students. The Computing Service runs the Common Student Computing Environment (CSCE). This is a standard computer set-up designed to make life easier for you. Computing Service also runs a helpdesk for students.

Student IT Literacy Programme: All new undergraduate and postgraduate students are required to take a Certificate of Basic IT Competence, Some students take a one-off test in order to achieve the Certificate while others may need to take a course in order to achieve the necessary level of competence. The IT Education Department also offers Enhancement Units to students who have gained the IT Certificate, focusing on such activities as laying out a dissertation, designing a presentation, preparing a CV, using online databases, or creating web pages.

The Student Learning Services: The Student Learning Service aims to support all students and enhance their learning. Each faculty has a designated Effective Learning Adviser who works with departments, providing study skills advice for specific courses. The Advisers also lead general study skills workshops, open to all students, on topics such as essay writing, effective reading techniques, note-making skills and preparation for exams. Students can arrange a one-to-one consultation to discuss strategies for successful learning at RSMT.

The Language Centre: The Language Centre provides resources for teaching and learning languages. There are two main areas of activity: Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The MFL courses are part of the Institution Wide Language Programme, which prepare students to go abroad.

Career Service: The Careers Service, is available to give friendly and impartial career planning support throughout your course of study. Whatever your chosen subjects, and whatever stage you are at in your studies, Careers Service staff can help you prepare as effectively as possible for the transition from institute to the workplace, or to further study.

Career Opportunities: Biotechnology is the application of techniques and processes that utilize biological systems for the efficient and useful production of materials to serve human needs in agriculture, medicine, industry and daily life. The science of 'Biotechnology' is taking rapid strides. By integrating life sciences, biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical engineering and computer sciences, biotechnology can have profound impact in the fields of agriculture, medicine, animal husbandry and environmental protection. The past several years have witnessed a great conversion of this science into economic benefits due to its applications in many areas. The science of biotechnology is not limited to laboratories but is emerging as an industrial revolution worldwide. Apart from the potential for the industrial growth, biotechnology is also emerging as a 'technology of' hope' for society, especially in developing countries. The potential of biotechnology in producing low cost medicines, nutrition rich food, remediation of environmental degradation, improvement of live stock breeds and health, among many others are well recognized.

The aim of this MSc Biotechnology course is to advance the understanding and transfer of knowledge at the forefront of biotechnology for its useful application in research, industry, commerce and society. Biotechnology is predicted to be one of the piviotal forces of the 21st century. The courses take a multidisciplinary approach designed to provide students with knowledge and skills to be the interface between science and industry.The biotechnology industry is an important and growing industrial sector is considered by many to be key to the future of manufacturing. Biotechnologists study plant, animal and microbial sciences, underpinned by biochemistry, genetics, computing and some applied aspects of agriculture, environmental science and food science.

In recent years, demand for biotechnologists has increased through the many developments in the industrial application and exploitation of biochemical processes, like the manufacture and use of enzymes, medical diagnostic reagents and therapeutic agents, and agricultural applications. Biological waste treatment is becoming increasingly important as legislative requirements become more stringent. Graduates are capable in assisting the industry in all of these issues and have a role in production, technical sales and research and development. In addition to the career opportunities in the biotechnological industries, the academic training our graduates receive equips them for positions in other industries, commerce and Government service.

The Biotechnology programme aims to: • Provide a course containing integrated periods of industrial training allowing students to experience and apply the skills developed during the course. The education provides an excellent basis for your future career. • Provide a programme of education which will enable its graduates to enter a career in the biotechnology-based industries as scientists or technologists in production and research and development. • Provide a broadly based scientific and technological education whose graduates can also enter a career in other areas of applied biology or processing.

How you learn: An integrated programme of lectures, tutorials, seminars, laboratory assignments and case studies are used to enhance your knowledge and understanding and enable you to make progress. Both the research project route and the mini-project route are designed to allow you to apply your studies and gain the maximum benefit from them.

How you are assessed: A combination of written submissions, presentations, laboratory assignments and formal examinations are used throughout the programme.

Graduates of this programme have:• A firm understanding of the theory behind the basic disciplines of biotechnology; • knowledge and skills in biotechnological techniques and methods for solving technical problems; • Knowledge and skills in their selected specialisation; Skills to solve complex problems using an integrated approach.
