Abstract: To promote the development of synthetic biology and the cultivation of high-level talents, the curriculum of synthetic biology for the professional degree graduates majoring in biotechnology and engineering in the field of biology and medicine is offered by Hunan Agricultural University. Firstly, the curriculum objectives of synthetic biology were introduced. Secondly, according to the characteristics of students, the teaching content and teaching arrangements of synthetic biology curriculum were reasonably designed to stimulate students’ learning interest and enhance learning outcomes. Finally, the curriculum content was taught via the “offline + online” mode, including the thematic discussion and case teaching, and the learning outcomes were assessed through teaching questionnaires and course performance evaluations. Under the background of the new quality productive forces, the construction and exploration of synthetic biology curriculum for the professional degree graduate in the field of biology and medicine were proposed to enhance students’ scientific research and innovation capabilities and innovation ability and to support the development of high-quality talents.

Key words: degree in biology and medicine, synthetic biology, graduate student, curriculum construction, new quality productive forces
