The Bachelor of Science (Biology) is a highly structured programme designed to cover both
traditional and modern Biology which emphasizes coursework and training in many aspects
of molecular biology, genetics, plant and animal physiology, phycology, mycology,
ecology, enzymology, immunology, virology, cell signalling, proteomics and genomics, DNA
analysis techniques, protein isolation techniques, and recombinant DNA techniques. The
programme is designed not only to train students in the necessary technical skills but also to
provide them with the theoretical basis for continued study. Graduates are prepared to
pursue further graduate study in bioscience, molecular biology, biochemistry, and other
related areas or to obtain employment in academic, industrial, or government research
laboratories.
