Students engage with the necessary theory and practice that will broaden, deepen and intensify their scope of theoretical concepts and expertise in particular areas associated with the biological sciences.
This qualification also includes a research component which aims at providing students with professional research skills that will enable them to embark on a career as a researcher.
Upon successful completion, graduates may articulate to a master’s degree in a related field. Qualifying learners can be employed in many industries which include: conservation, biodiversity sciences, environmental sciences, forensic sciences and academia. In all these areas, biologists work closely with other scientists and researchers to develop biological research techniques, adapt existing techniques, design experiments, and focus analyses on species and habitat conservation at molecular and organismal level.
