School of Science

M.Sc. in Microbiology is usually a 2-year postgraduate program that focuses on the study of microbes and their effects on various elements of life. The program includes sophisticated areas such microbial genetics, immunology, virology, and environmental microbiology. Students work in laboratories, complete research projects, and often write a thesis. This degree prepares students for employment in research, healthcare, biotechnology, and environmental sciences, with opportunities in academia, industry, and government.

 M.Sc. in Biotechnology is normally a 2-year postgraduate degree that integrates biology, technology, and engineering concepts. This interdisciplinary course focuses on using biological systems to create novel goods and processes. Students develop skills in genetic engineering, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and bioprocess technology. The curriculum frequently involves laboratory work, research projects, and industry internships, which prepare graduates for positions in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and environmental sectors, as well as academic research.

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. Hons.) in Community Science is typically a 3-4 year undergraduate program that focuses on the scientific principles of human development, family and consumer sciences, nutrition, and community health. This interdisciplinary field integrates various aspects of social sciences and natural sciences to address community needs and enhance quality of life. Students engage in coursework related to nutrition, textiles, housing, and family studies, often incorporating practical experiences through projects and internships. Graduates are prepared for careers in community development, public health, social work, and education, or may choose to pursue further studies in related fields.

 Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Molecular Biology typically spans 2 years and focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes. The program combines theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory skills, covering topics such as DNA/RNA structure and function, gene expression, molecular genetics, and biochemistry. Students engage in hands-on research, utilizing techniques like PCR, cloning, and sequencing. Graduates are equipped for careers in academia, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare, contributing to advancements in genetics, disease research, and drug development. Some programs may offer specializations in areas like genomics, proteomics, or bioinformatics, enhancing employability in this rapidly evolving field.
