Welcome to the Department of Natural and Basic Sciences
The department of natural and basic sciences will provide strong support to establish interdisciplinary advanced research among the existing departments or future opening departments in the field of life sciences at the University of Turbat. The overall aim of this department is to foster interaction of existing departments of universities by developing interdisciplinary modern bioscience research. It will help to develop a world-class center in basic, chemical, and biological sciences in university doing both advanced research and education. The department of natural and basic sciences will enhance the existing capacity of research and education in the faculty of science through the creation of interdisciplinary natural sciences research and education along with re-grouping research activities as per the current requirements and priorities.
More than 2000 pre-medical students are annually passed they're intermediate in different colleges of Mekran region and due to not the availability of degree programs in biological sciences like botany, zoology, biotechnology, microbiology, etc. in the University of Turbat these candidates are suffering a lot problem for getting admission in other universities of the province as well as in-country. The department of biological sciences at the University of Turbat will offer various subjects including biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics, microbiology, zoology, botany, genetics, and biomedical sciences, and will give a great opportunity to the students to choose different programs in the department. It will not only facilitate the students of pre-medical but also enhance the academic and research quality of University in life science and will meet the demand of society in the field of life science. It will boost our students’ employability in the health and food industries.
