Bachelor of Biology
Overview
The Department of Biology offers a course of study leading to the granting of a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. The program is designed to be presented by the Faculty of Science and Arts at Albaha University in line with the study plan with the other corresponding faculties at Albaha University. The Bachelor of Science program in the neighborhood helps students to work in different fields and qualifies them to develop their scientific and practical skills. And prepares them to continue their higher studies and research in the various fields of life sciences.
The program consists of 133 credit units divided into eight levels (four years of study). The student enrolled in this program must successfully complete (133) credits according to the study plan.
