Innovative Practices of Training Mode for Master’s Degree Graduate Students in Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences Majors with Integration of Industry and Education and Collaborative Training of Dual-Tutors

Abstract

A prominent issue in current postgraduate education is the lack of essential differentiation between the training of professional degree postgraduates and academic degree postgraduates, which has led to a disconnection between professional postgraduate training and industry demands. To address this issue, this paper takes the Master’s program in Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Guangdong Pharmaceutical University as a case study. Targeting the urgent needs of the high-quality development of the biopharmaceutical industry, and aiming to strengthen students’ professional competence and sustainable development capabilities while focusing on improving their practical and innovative abilities, this study explores implementation paths for integrating industry, education, and research with a dual-tutor collaborative training model. These include the development of a dual-tutor team, curriculum system optimization, the improvement of a quality assurance system, and the construction of practical training platforms. The paper demonstrates the outcomes of this model and proposes strategies for promotion and future outlooks, offering new ideas for training high-quality talent in the biological and pharmaceutical fields.
