Holland College is now accepting applications for the new one-year Bioscience Technology Post-Graduate Certificate program, which will start in August.

The certificate program includes practical and applied courses from the college’s two-year Bioscience Technology program to complement the theoretical science courses students take in a Bachelor of Science degree program. The post-graduate certificate program provides rigorous and broad training in biotechnology to enable graduates to enter the workforce or to enhance their access to post-graduate opportunities such as master's degree programs.

While at Holland College, students receive extensive lab-based instruction, and complete an independent research project on a topic of their choice. Students learn a variety of practical skills, including natural product extraction, fermentation, and bacterial and mammalian cell culture techniques.

Holland College’s bioscience technology programs have strong ties to industry, giving students access to exciting on-the-job training opportunities, as well as the ability to network with industry partners before they complete the program.
