Programme Structure
Programme Objectives
Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Zoology
The Master of Science M.Sc. in Zoology seeks to provide students with higher learning in the biology of animals, in respect of structure, functions, and diversities. It nurtures and develops high levels of analytical, laboratory, and research skills, continued scientific inquiry, biodiversity conservation awareness, and environmental ethics. The students are trained for academic excellence, research pursuits, and professional careers in biological and life sciences.
Key Program Objectives
- To provide in-depth knowledge of animal structure, function, and diversity: Develop advanced understanding of animal anatomy, physiology, taxonomy, evolution, and ecological interactions.
- To develop advanced laboratory, analytical, and research skills: Strengthen practical expertise through laboratory techniques, fieldwork, data analysis, and research methodologies.
- To prepare students for academic, research, and professional careers: Equip students with competencies required for higher studies (Ph.D.), research organizations, teaching, and industry-related roles.
- To promote understanding of biodiversity conservation and environmental ethics: Encourage awareness of conservation biology, sustainable practices, and ethical responsibility towards ecosystems and wildlife.
- To encourage scientific inquiry and independent research: Foster critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and independent research capabilities through projects and dissertations.
Course USPs
The M.Sc. in Zoology course merges theoretical knowledge acquisition with hands-on training in animal sciences studies through the use of laboratory and field sessions in animal sciences. This makes the course suitable for students wishing to pursue careers in either scientific and biotechnological fields or those wishing to pursue further studies in life sciences and zoology among other related sciences.
