Biology

Biology offers two specialized modules; 1) Plants 2) Animals. Teaching and research of biology in the faculty includes aspects of taxonomy, anatomy, morphology, ecology, biodiversity, plant and animal genetics, of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Exposure to all aspects of basic and applied research aimed to achieve balance between socio-economic development and conservation of biodiversity and the environment.
