The Sejahtera Academic Framework serves as inspiration for the Department of Biology’s desire to develop engaging educational initiatives for the students. Workshops on Microscopy, Mangrove Tree Planting and Beach Cleaning, motivational and study skills workshops, and others were among the initiatives that were carried out. These programs are intended to foster students’ environmental awareness and personal development.
The Department of Biology is also responsible for reporting students’ academic performance in programs Foundation of Dentistry, Medicine, and Pharmacy.
