Program Overview
Master of Science or M. Sc in Biology in distance education is a two years program. Students enrolled in this course are taught the application of scientific methods in experiments, use of scientific equipment, laboratory techniques, and procedures along with how to gather, organize, and analyze data. Biology is the natural science that involves the study of all aspects of living organisms, from molecules, cells, and tissues to organisms. This field of study has a variety of branches of specialization in diverse areas such as Biochemistry, Ecology, and Botany. Successful postgraduates of the course are trained in critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and manual dexterity. They ideally possess qualities such as precision, order, and attention to detail as needed in research and laboratory projects. Such skills can be applied to both scientific and non-scientific jobs in the field.
Top Professions for M. Sc Biology are:
