The Department of Biological Sciences at LAU is dedicated to providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary education in the life sciences, blending rigorous coursework with research-driven, hands-on laboratory experiences. Our curriculum supports LAU’s Liberal Arts framework, offering courses that not only strengthen scientific literacy but also serve key programs such as bioinformatics, pharmacy and medicine.

Students in our programs benefit from a rich integration of modern experimental techniques, cutting-edge research methodologies, and interdisciplinary collaborations in ways that foster innovation and critical thinking skills. The department also offers a Master of Science (MS) degree in Biological Sciences, where most graduates pursue PhD programs abroad or as part of collaborative international programs, which reflects their readiness for advanced research and professional challenges.

Graduates of our department are well-prepared to pursue advanced degrees in prestigious global institutions or to enter careers in teaching, healthcare, medicine, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, biomedical research, environmental science and related fields. LAU’s partnerships with renowned European universities provide our students with the opportunity to enroll in joint PhD programs in molecular biology and biotechnology, where candidates conduct experimental work at LAU while also taking graduate courses at the partner institution. These collaborations offer a pathway to a comprehensive international research experience and foster global scientific exchange.

With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative research and global engagement, the Department of Biological Sciences at LAU aims to equip its students with the knowledge and skills to become leaders in the biological sciences and related fields.
