BSc Chemistry, Genetics, Biotechnology (Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Genetics, Biotechnology)
This course provides a unique blend of subjects enrich the candidate’s knowledge, creates a highly adaptive environment, and provides opportunities to grow successfully in the respective field.
The Chemistry curriculum emphasizes on the theory and practical aspects of the fundamentals of chemistry and includes theories and concepts of atomic structure, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, coordination chemistry, quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and chemical analysis. Important topics include general and physical chemistry, inorganic and organic chemistry, biochemistry, electrochemistry, structure and function of polymers, and chemistry of synthetic drugs.
The Genetics curriculum focuses on the application of biotechnology and microbiology in genes, expression of genes, genetic variation, gene pool, structure and function of genes, and heredity of animals, plants, and human beings. Topics related to molecular structure and function of genes, gene behavior, genetic dominance, epigenetics, inheritance, gene distribution, and variation and change in populations are covered during the course.
The Biotechnology curriculum emphasizes on the application of cellular and bio-molecular processes to develop products that help to improve and simplify our lives. It is an interdisciplinary science and involves concepts and theories related to engineering, medicine, biology, chemistry, and technology. It covers topics animal biotechnology, fermentation technology, bioinformatics, spoilage of food, and preservation. Newly developed skills provide a deep understanding of the various uses of biological products in medical devices, diagnostics, resilient crops, biofuels, biomaterials, and pollution control.
