BS IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND CELL BIOLOGY
BS in Biochemistry and Cell Biology program describe accomplishments that graduates are expected to attain within two years after graduation.
- Will be able to comprehend the basics of the vital processes in living systems and apply it professionally in the field of biological sciences with respect to environmental and economic issues.
- Will enable graduates to design, experiment, analyze, and interpret modern notions in Biochemistry with the help of other multi-disciplinary concepts.
- Will be able to pursue career in academia, research as well as in industry.
- To facilitate, motivate and promote technical skills in the core areas of biological sciences with advanced practical knowledge in basic tools and technologies.
- Will be able to engage them in life-long learning to achieve modern scientific skills and apply the updated knowledge in day-to-day life.
- Will be able to develop graduates with a strong professional ethics that will make them enable to contribute to the community, society and Nation.
The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology was established in 2010 and the program has been established in 2013. The department involves both research and academic activities. Multidisciplinary knowledge like Physics, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Plant Biochemistry, Nutritional Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Protein Engineering, Enzymology, Chemistry of Natural Products, Microbiology, Clinical Biochemistry and Computer Science are acquired in this department. The department is conducting a 4 years BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program. Majors have the opportunity through extensive coursework, Laboratories, Seminars and several projects to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the workforce or to go on with further graduate education leading to MS or PhD degree in Biochemistry or related discipline at home and abroad. The departmental faculties are involved in various research programs in the world. They also take part regularly in the National/International seminar/ symposium and workshops.
The BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Program conducted on a Course & Credit based structure with 46 numbers of Courses to be dispensed in 160 credits in total.
The BS BCB (Honors) Program will be conducted on a Course & Credit based structure with 46 number of Courses to be dispensed in 3550 Credit Hours in total for 160 credit, completed in a minimum time span of 4 years.
