The Bachelor of Science in Life Science – Biotechnology (Botany, Chemistry) is a multidisciplinary undergraduate programme designed to equip students with a strong scientific foundation in modern biotechnology, plant sciences, and chemical principles that drive innovation in life sciences. The programme blends core biological concepts with applied laboratory practices to prepare students for emerging roles in biotechnology-driven industries and research environments.

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of biotechnology, including cell biology, genetics, molecular biology basics, biomolecules, and biochemical pathways, while strengthening their understanding of plant science and chemical processes essential to biological research and industrial applications. Emphasis is placed on understanding how biological systems can be manipulated, analyzed, and applied to solve real-world problems in healthcare, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and industrial biotechnology.

Students gain hands-on laboratory exposure through practical sessions that build competence in basic biotechnological techniques, chemical analysis, and biological experimentation. The programme fosters analytical thinking, experimental accuracy, data interpretation, and scientific documentation, enabling students to confidently work in laboratory and research-oriented settings.

With a strong focus on application-oriented learning, the B.Sc Life Science (Biotechnology) programme prepares graduates for careers in biotechnology companies, research laboratories, pharmaceutical and healthcare support services, quality control and quality assurance units, agricultural biotechnology, and bio-based industries. It also lays a solid academic foundation for higher education such as M.Sc Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Life Science Research, and other specialized professional programmes.
