Welcome to the information blog on B.Sc. Integrative Biology course offered by the Department of Biological Sciences, SRM University AP. In this blog we will highlight and provide you with the necessary information that can help you understand How? and Why? our B.Sc. course can help the students attain an excellent foundation in biological sciences. The structure of our course curriculum is aimed at catering the knowledge ranging from fundamental principles to cutting-edge research in biology and we make sure it is thought provoking. By the end of this course the students will be ready to take up real-world problems and contribute towards the betterment of the society. To this end SRM University AP is fully committed to nurturing students and supporting them become entrepreneurs, bringing their novel intellectual thoughts and ideas to practicality by providing them expert advice, and our entrepreneurship team also makes sure that their inventions are potentially marketed, assisting them financially leading to their own start-up companies. Let’s understand how and why these aspects are feasible by studying at SRM-AP.
The world is moving at a faster pace and the demands put forward by the real world could only be met if our academic curriculum can accommodate what is needed. Our expert panel of advisors and faculty, design the courses in such a way that we not only introduce the fundamentals but also provide the cutting-edge topics and bring them to the forefront in the scientific domain. We pay utmost attention in designing our courses to bridge the gap between academics and real life demands so our students stay relevant and pragmatic in the real world.
We achieve this by training the students aptly in different stages of the course. In their first semester we teach and train them in basic sciences of Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer sciences. After the first semester, students will have the freedom to choose the science domain of their interest, and this allows matching the motivated students to the science stream that they really enjoy learning and training themselves in and set their career in. Our internationally trained faculty will always motivate those who are not motivated and guide them to find their interests. The students who choose to pursue biological sciences, will begin their journey as undergraduates of biological sciences from semester two. We offer B.Sc. in two modes: B.Sc. (three years) and B.Sc. Honors (four years). B.Sc. Honors is a research-intensive course and allows the students eligible for some international Academic or Industrial opportunities which may require a four-year undergraduate course. Students have a provision to decide during their fifth semester and can choose the option that best suits their research interests.
To this end, we offer different major and minor courses in theory, and we revise them as needed to incorporate the latest research topics as seem fit.
Our curriculum is designed to expose students to perform research, entrepreneurship opportunities, and innovation in frontier areas of biology and interdisciplinary sciences.
Curriculum and syllabus are designed for qualifying highly competitive national and international level examinations and to prepare the students for both industrial and academic careers.
Extensive laboratory training and project opportunities to work on cutting edge areas including Genomics and Proteomics, Genetic Engineering, Neuroscience, Nanotechnology, RNA Biology, CRISPR technology, Plant biotechnology, Sustainability, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, etc.,
