The Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, North South University comprises of three disciplines of Applied Life Science: Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Biotechnology. The department also offers two General Education courses (GED), Biology and Chemistry for students of other disciplines. The research-oriented fields of biology give the knowledge of living systems, ranging from whole organisms up to molecular and atomic levels, that we eventually apply to improve the quality of life. Living in the era of modern biology, the demand for the basic and up-to-date knowledge of life sciences is of the greatest. With this view, the Department of Biochemistry & Microbiology provides students with an excellent opportunity to obtain quality education in biochemistry, microbiology, biotechnology, molecular genetics, bioinformatics and immunology. Students get both a breadth of knowledge as well as in-depth training in a specific area of research to prepare them completely for a promising career in biological science. Programs offered:
The department currently offers three degree programs:
4 years undergraduate program for BSc. (Hons) in Biochemistry & Biotechnology (BBT)
4 years undergraduate program for BSc. (Hons) in Microbiology (MIC)
1 and a half year graduate program for MSc. in Biotechnology
The department uses American curriculum-based teaching approach which incorporates a wide range of elective courses in addition to the core-subject courses to promote the development of broader, well-rounded students.
