Programme Name Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry
Programme Description
This programme allows students to study biology and chemistry jointly to cover a broad base of topics in both disciplines. Courses in biology and chemistry will give students knowledge of organisms (from the cellular level up to ecosystem level interactions) and how they can be understood and manipulated through applying chemical tools, techniques, and analysis at the molecular level. The students will have practical exercises in the laboratory and field trips to apply the theoretical knowledge they have gained in lecture classes. This programme allows the students to be major in two subjects by completing six (6) compulsory and two (2) elective courses in each biology and chemistry discipline.
Majors Biology, Chemistry
