Profile of the Programme

Biology is primary discipline of science that includes structure, function and feature of all living organisms, and classification, distribution and origin of them related to their phylogenetic relationships. The undergraduate program of biology has aimed to pass down scientific findings, evidences, knowledge and experiences which are mostly relevant to biodiversity of our country, and identification of animal, plant and microorganisms with their distribution. In addition to this, not only structure and function of living organisms but also ecological problems and conception of genetics are main issues for the biology. Another goal of the program is that experts, trained from the biology program, have transformed the knowledge of biological to all realms of life to achieve innovations.
