The Biology Department was established in 2009 and the academic year 2009-2010 was the first academic year of the department. The Department is a four year study that awards a Bachelor of Science in Biology. The curriculum requires foundation courses in basic sciences and Microbiology, followed by a flexible choice of electives to meet the needs of students preparing for health professions, graduate study and careers in research and the industrial applications of Biology. Students learn through a combination of lecture, laboratory and seminar courses. Required core courses in the sciences include all fields of Zoology and Botany, Microbiology: General Microbiology, Medical Microbiology, Chemistry: General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biostatistics and other Life Science courses: Genetics, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology and Physiology. To achieve the practical sessions of these subjects, the Department has fully equipped specialized laboratories. With a degree in Biology, graduates will be well prepared to undertake graduate studies in any of the life sciences and Biotechnology or Genetics. Graduates will be ideally suited for employment in biotechnology, pharmaceutics, medical and forensic sciences, biological research institutes, hospital laboratories, hospital supply companies, or the food industry, in addition to their ability to be teachers of Biology.

The Department of Biology is committed to educate students in the principles of biology through structured inquiry and opportunities for individualized experiential learning. It is also committed to teaching ethical behavior in experimental design and practice to all of our students. The department strives to provide the best educational opportunities possible for students to attain their academic goals and to facilitate faculty in scholarship in an atmosphere that encourages free exchange of ideas.

The objectives of the Department are to:

To advance the frontiers of knowledge through innovation and research in the biological sciences.
To facilitate development of scientists in the guidance of our bachelors Biology students.
To increase scientific literacy, foster an appreciation of scientific inquiry, and develop well-informed citizens by providing a general education in Biology to the student population.
To participate in the University-wide academic community through interdisciplinary collaborations, programs and curricula.
To contribute to local, national, and international scientific communities through collaborations and service activities that promote education and dissemination of information.
To contribute to the community by collaborating with public, nonprofit, private, and industry partners.
