Department of Biology and Chemistry
To develop and promote Science Education and its applications to real-life situations, there is a critical need for well-trained Science teachers, especially in Biology and Chemistry. The training of successful teachers in science material, science pedagogy, and procedural awareness will emphasize this program. The program's graduates will be prepared with science (Biology and Chemistry) and technical competencies and perspectives to link education and communities.
About Department
The Department of Biology and Chemistry is dedicated to advancing Science Education through innovative teaching methods and practical applications. Our mission is to prepare competent educators who can effectively teach biological and chemical principles while making complex concepts accessible to students.
Our faculty comprises experts in biology, chemistry, and education who are committed to providing students with a comprehensive understanding of both subject matter and pedagogical approaches. We emphasize the practical application of scientific concepts to real-world problems and community needs.
The department maintains partnerships with educational institutions, research centers, and industries, enabling our students to engage in meaningful projects that bridge theory and practice. Our research initiatives focus on improving STEM education, developing new teaching methodologies, and addressing educational challenges in biology and chemistry.
