Incorporation of Sustainable Development Goal 4 in Biology Curriculum Design: A Case Study

Curriculum design needs to be undertaken at both programme and subject level. The programme structure needs to enable the graduates to also acquire integrative biotechnology laboratory skills and employability skills. Module-specific knowledge and skills are essentially important, but they are meani...
