The BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology programme is structured to equip students with the necessary background and training in the biological sciences to enter careers related to biotechnology, environmental monitoring and pollution control, as well as other fields that require a solid biological foundation.
Students who opt for the Environmental Science concentration will receive training to understand the biological and chemical basis of environmental problems, their control and management, as well as the restoration and remediation of degraded or derelict land and ecosystems.
