Study Packages in Biology
In additon to required courses, Biology Major students need to take elective courses. Students may choose to follow one or more study package(s) in three areas as shown below (Annex 1-1). To complete a study package, a student must take at least 15 units from courses listed in the study package. Biology Program will issue certificate(s) to students who complete specific study package(s).
* for students admitted in 2022/23 and before, they can also choose to follow packages as shown in Annex 1-2 in additional the revised scheme shown in Annex 1-1.
