The Faculty of BiologiDepartment of Biotechnology (Bio) was established in 2001 and It was considered as one of the top priority sectors for investment and development enabling Vietnam to pursue its strategies on science and technology development to attain the international level in 20 years later. After 18 years of development, more than 1,092 Bachelors and 155 Masters have graduated to contribute to the national socio-economic development. And this is the impressive result of the tireless efforts of all staff of Bio. Knowledge and skills of the learners are built from traditional agriculture to advanced technology such as gene technology, fermentation technology, cell technology, microbiological technology, biochemical technology, embryo technology. The department has successfully developed biotechnology programs from the undergraduate to graduate levels responding to learners needs with diverse programs as inter-college program, joint program, and advanced program, which improves professional knowledge and skills to satisfy the requirements of both learners and their future work. In addition, our trend of developing in-depth knowledge and skills will provide students the opportunity to develop their future career in line with the development and requirement of society; the new-major environmental biotechnology is established along with development-oriented in Applied Biology (2021), Applied Microbiology (2023) and Biomedical Engineering toward  2030. 

The training program consists of 136 credits allocated into 08 semesters and additional summer sessions, including fundamental knowledge and practice skills, basic knowledge and practical research skills, specialized knowledge and professional skills, which are offered in principle of “accumulation”. The program structure is revised based on the comments, evaluations, and suggestions of employers, alumni, lecturers and learners, in alignment with regulation of Ministry of Education and Training as well as the vision and mission of NLU. The learners attend active training programs, which include events on Youth Union directions, 5 seminars on soft skills, 3 field trips, and 4-week on-site industrial training, in addition to completing the graduation thesis. The learners will qualify as Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology after having the English and IT levels, along with good manners and conduct. 

Successful programs of the Master degree in biotechnology (2006), and Ph.D degree in biotechnology (2016), indicates the experience of lecturers and the considerable improvement of Bio’s research capacity. Lecturers always enhance their "quality" and "skill" to meet the teaching requirements and fulfill the assigned tasks; startup model of students is inspired and demonstrated by startup model of lecturers, as many as commercialized products. Remarkably, Bio students have successfully participated in the internship program with international universities and the faculty is a globally recognized institute as French students came for study and exchange culture. 

All staffs and students, who used to or are working and studying at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, are determined to achieve the goal of building the department to an distinguished  center of highly-qualified education, scientific research, technology transfer and international exchange. The continuous investment in facilities combined with the development of qualified and skilled lecturers enable Bio to achieve the strategic goals set by the NLU and integrate itself into advanced biotechnology programs in the world.
