We Are Starting Up
The school of biological sciences and technology, nominated as out of the specially competative fields of CNU by the LG Economic Research Institute, finally ending up getting a official permission from the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development as a school under the direct supervision of CNU presidency after a five-year preparation in september, 2003. We anticipate producing the first graduates in February, 2008. Over the past 3 years, we have undertook on three major national policy projects, being sponsored annually 3.3 billion won for those researches. Further, we have two National Research Laboratories and various research programs under the national support of nearly 5 billion won per year. Although, our department still needs to organize its system more thoroughly and extend space for students, its enthusiasm and progressiveness are at a very high level. We are just starting up. We'd like you, with a great potential, to move on with us, expecting much more possibilities with you. We have tremendous potential as you all do. Why don’t you challenge yourselves with us for your bright future?
Biological Sciences and Technology is Our Hope.
Biological sciences and technology have a long history, but the development of the new biological technology for industrial applications is relatively short, that is, only 10 years or so. The distinct natures of biological sciences and technology don't not allow itself to be monopolized by a few advanced countries or laboratories. Therefore if equipped with international competitiveness, it is possible to compete in various fields with diverse technologies. Especially, cutting-edge of technology with high value-added that our school is seeking for will be the barometer of national technological competency in 21st century. Those who are willing to participate in creating this biological technology are also gem for all of us.
The School of Biological Sciences and Technology of Chonnam National University is the first to be under the direct supervision of presidency in Korea.
Our department does not belong to any of colleges. Namely, we are under the direct supervision of presidency which allows to maintain an independent administration for ever-changing environments in and outside. It will lead us to be more competitive in rapidly developing field of biotechnology. In addition, our program provides not only basic biological sciences but also applicable and industrial technology, distinct features from other departments in that they are limited only in basic sciences or application technology.
SBST is building internationally competitive, up-to-date education and research infrastructure.
Currently 70% of enrolled students in the school of biological sciences and technology receive scholarships. In addition, our department provides a variety of opportunities such as international EXPO, student exchange programs, including overseas internships.
