    Overview

    The Biology Program is a comprehensive academic program that aims to provide advanced education in the biological sciences. The program covers a wide range of topics that enable students to gain a deep understanding of biological systems at all levels from the cell to the ecosystem. The program includes intensive practical training in biology laboratories. The program encourages students to participate in research projects in diverse fields such as molecular biology and microbiology. Graduates can work in many fields, such as scientific research in universities and research centers / environment, such as the study of biodiversity and environmental protection / food industries and biotechnology / education in schools and universities. The program is designed to prepare students to be qualified to work in applied scientific and research fields, in addition to providing opportunities to contribute to solving contemporary environmental and medical problems

    The following conditions must be met for the admission of a new student to the College of Science:

    A. The applicant must have obtained a General Secondary Education Certificate (high school diploma) or its equivalent from within the Kingdom or from abroad.
