The school develops and cultivates core knowledge by offering several programs and research opportunities. At the undergraduate level, we offer B.Sc. in Bio-technology and Microbiology for those interested in academia, pharmaceuticals, clinical work, and R & D departments.

The 21st century has brought unprecedented opportunities for research and discovery in applied sciences due to major advancements in biological tools and biological software. The School is pleased to announce its new Honors Thesis program for undergraduate students interested in conducting research. Students are also encouraged to apply for the undergraduate summer program and internship program in various academic and R & D departments.
