ANIMAL AND PLANT BIODIVERSITY


This program offers specialized training in both animal and plant biodiversity, preparing graduates for careers in biodiversity-related fields. Students are exposed to various animal and plant taxa, studying their form, function, taxonomy, biology, ecology, and economic importance, with an emphasis on species that are significant in Malaysia. Training includes practical skills in equipment maintenance, culturing techniques for laboratory animals, and research in plant biology, such as molecular biology, plant systematics, and conservation efforts for endangered species.

In the final year, students choose courses focused on key animal and plant groups, deepening their understanding of their ecological roles and applications. Graduates can pursue careers in veterinary fields, research, education, and conservation within both public and private sectors. Additionally, the plant biology program offers access to advanced research facilities for studying plant cell biology, biotechnology, and environmental biology, fostering interdisciplinary research and contributing to the conservation of Malaysia’s diverse plant species.
