BSC IN GENERAL SCIENCE (BIOLOGY) – BSCGS
Eligibility
:
10+2 PCB
Programme Duration
:
3 Years
Programme Objectives
:
Our aim is to provide students with basic knowledge in the
most important biological fields, to attain skills in
fundamental methods of laboratory and applied biology,
and acquaints them with the most important processes of
biochemistry, cytology, components of living organisms.
The Biology BSc program covers a broad range of
biological science including the most important concepts
in modern biology; the levels of biological organization;
the fundamental principles of structure and function and
the development of ecosystems.
Job Prospects
:
Our B.Sc. in General Science degree is one of the most
versatile degrees you can obtain because of the
fundamental nature of the discipline, and also because it
can be combined with so many other sciences, leading to
powerful and sought-after skills. After the completion of
our programme, you will find a challenging career in
medical, public health and exciting career possibilities
exist as research work is strongly gaining importance in
laboratories in universities, biotechnology companies and
agricultural, medical and veterinary institutes.
