Bachelor of Science Program in Biological Sciences

Aligned with Mahidol University’s three pillars of education philosophy – constructivism, learning-center, and outcome-based learning, the Biological Sciences Program proudly strives to raise each student to the greatest level that they are personally capable of achieving. Our success as science educators is proportionate to the degree to which our graduates actualize their ethical, inquisitive and innovative potentials. Thus, our educational philosophy is implicit in the original Latin educere, to lead forth. We guide students to a comprehensive and broad understanding of state-of-the-art interdisciplinary science enabling them to innovate sustainable, pragmatic solutions for a multi-cultural world. 

What are the Biological Sciences?

Biology, or the biological sciences , is the science of life. It is an extremely diverse field of study so MUIC offers several different modules (concentrations) within the overall Biological Sciences major. The diversity stems not only from the tremendous variety of life forms we share Earth with but also from the many levels of supra- and sub-organism organization, such as cells and ecosystems. Biological research thus encompasses perspectives from the planetary to the sub-microscopic. Though focused on a particular species, a biologist might choose to investigate many aspects of it: behavior, community relationships, the genetic mechanisms that shape form and functionality, how it has evolved and is evolving, or the intricacies of its cellular machinery. Many students are also attracted by the applications of such fundamental knowledge; applied biology looks to use scientifically valid knowledge to better manage the health and well-being of ecosystems, humans, animals and economies. Humans as stewards of Earth carry responsibility for ourselves and our planet.
