The department, situated in the Faculty of Basic Medical and Applied Sciences offers a 4 years BSc. degree programme in Microbiology, Biology and Biotechnology.
The department was created in 2019, the same year the University was licensed to commence academic work. In addition, the department is headed by a qualified life scientist with good academic and administrative experience, and supported by qualified academic, administrative and laboratory support staff who participate in the day to day administration of the Department.
The students in these programs are trained to be self-dependent in handling challenges in their various disciplines. Our course curricula are enriched with robust course outlines which are adequately and methodically packaged to prepare the students for the successful practice of the profession anywhere in the world. In addition, the students undergo a compulsory six months Industrial Training program where they will be further exposed to the practical and industrial applications of their course of study.
These include hospitals and health related organizations, research institutions, fisheries and agro allied industries, environmental management and pollution control agencies, agriculture and lots more. This exposure will make them to develop self confidence in their various fields of specialty and this will also make them employable. In addition, their exposure to industries will make some of them to develop initiative of establishing small scale enterprises of their own.
The final year projects are designed to prepare students for the larger society. Thus, the topics cover applications of Biological Sciences in diverse areas such as agriculture, health, food processing and environment.
All the programmes are accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
With pleasure, you are welcome to a forward looking Biological Science Department where world changers are made.
