Objectives: To equip students with the
fundamental principles and the biological processes at various levels
involved in the science of life (i.e. molecular, cellular, organismic,
and colonial levels) and the relationships of these levels with each other
and with their environments; The basic scientific knowledge and the traditional
as well as modern research methods involved in the fields of molecular
and cellular biology, human, plant and animal organism biology, colonial
biology, ecosystems and biodiversity; The research and application skills
in the different areas of applied biology.
Specialisations: Microbiology Biochemistry,
Natural Resources and Environment, Plant Biology, Animal Biology, Medicine
and Pharmacology Biotechnology, Agricultural Biotechnology, Industrial
Biotechnology, Biology-Informatics.
