Bachelor of Science (General) in Biology

  • Objectives Our department combines a tradition of excellence in research with modern and multidisciplinary teaching in the major areas of biology including animal behavior, biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, genomics, microbiology, molecular biology, insect biology and plant biology. Our programs offer students an intellectually stimulating environment, with many opportunities to conduct research in state-of-the-art facilities. We emphasize experimentation and combine course-related laboratory work with opportunities in research laboratories. Students at all levels are encouraged to acquire familiarity with advanced research techniques.
