Graduation

M.Sc Biological Sciences or Master of Science in Biological Sciences is a two-year Post-Graduate program. The Biological Sciences program is designed to equip students with the generic skills of a researcher in biomedical sciences, ecology, evolution, and behavior or plant molecular sciences. A graduate degree in biological sciences gives students a broad base of knowledge in the life sciences.

The discipline also offers many Specialties, such as

Biophysics

Biochemistry Bioinformatics

Cell Biology

Ecology Evolutionary Biology

Genetics

Genomics Immunology

Infectious Disease

Microbiology Molecular Biology

Neuroscience

Neurobiology
Structural Biology

The Biological Sciences program covers a broad range, from the structure and function of nucleic acids to the feeding behavior of animals. Therefore, this program provides a diversity of opportunities for research and graduate education in biology.
