About the program

The Department awards the Bachelor’s degree to students in Biology. The Department offers 130 credit-hour courses and is committed to continuous development of educational programs to align with national and international standards, ensuring graduates are well-prepared and confident for employment in Saudi Arabia.

The Department comprises a select group of faculty members with high levels of proficiency in teaching and scientific research, as well as their prominent contributions to providing various university and community services. The Department always strives to provide qualified scientific cadres – faculty members, researchers, experts, and technicians – specialized in scientific and technological fields to keep pace with scientific developments

in various areas. It also aims to encourage scientific research through the researches conducted by faculty members, and to cooperate with scientific, academic, and governmental institutions and production centers to solve environmental and societal problems related to biology specializations.

The Department is equipped with a laboratory containing some supporting technologies to assist teaching undergraduate students and researchers, but it still needs many supplies and equipment for the performance of faculty members' academic and research functions, as well as their ability to practice teaching and distance learning in light of the developments resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic.

Achieving harmony between what the student has learned in secondary school and university science curricula in order to integrate the student’s knowledge and skills, and achieve balance in their personalities, is the basis for the current program plan, which includes diverse cognitive aspects aimed at preparing graduates with high efficiency and teaching skills in biology that meet educational and employment requirements of society.
