The department aims to offer an educational program that relies on modern scientific research methods in the field of life sciences and employs advanced teaching approaches utilizing modern technologies in both instruction and research. Its goal is to graduate highly qualified teaching staff, whether in life sciences education, scientific research, or related fields.
Many professions require their practitioners to have an exceptional background in life sciences, such as tourism, archaeology, libraries, archives, and others. Accordingly, the department has a strategic vision to subject life sciences problems to research and study in order to understand them within a scientific framework, thereby fostering a knowledgeable and scientific perspective that contributes to the advancement of life sciences in society and the resolution of related challenges.
Providing academic and research-based educational services that prepare outstanding graduates specialized in life sciences, enabling them to play a positive and effective role within society—particularly in research, teaching, and consultancy. The department aims to impart knowledge in life sciences that helps understand and solve various challenges facing societal development. Biology thus plays a fundamental, not secondary, role in the advancement and construction of society, contributing to a brighter future.
