What are the Cut-Off Points for this course?
The Cut-Off Points for DBIO vary with the cohort.
I am interested in the Diploma in Biotechnology course, but I am quite weak in my Sciences. Is it advisable for me to enrol in this course?
It is advantageous but not a requirement to have a strong science background in order to enrol in DBIO. The core basic sciences concepts will be revisited in the first-year programme. If you have a strong interest in this course, coupled with a good learning attitude, we are confident you will excel!
