M.Sc. (by Papers)
Specialization: Applied Medical ScienceFour semester full-time course started in 1980
Life Science is a vast subject that is structured to engage a student in multiple avenues of biology. The applied sciences draw from the fundamentals that are taught in the programme and focus attention on the medical field. This acts as a launch pad for careers in diverse fields, ranging from purely academic endeavour such as research and teaching to entrepreneurship, law, science writing etc. The programme is designed to strengthen and enhance a student’s understanding and knowledge of Biology by exposure, over a two year period, to several fields such as Cell Biology, Physiology, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology etc in mainstream biology and allied fields such as Biochemistry, Biostatistics, Pharmacology etc. This allows students to make more informed choices when planning a career.
The programme will be conducted by the eleven faculty of the department using a blended learning approach which includes classical classroom teaching, self-study, experiential learning, seminars, presentations, field visits etc As part of their training, every student will have to work on a research project and submit a dissertation on it. The students are also strongly encouraged to complete summer internships to complement the programme.
In addition, the college is considering the option of permitting students to complete one semester in a Foreign University (from a list provided by the college) and transfer the credits accrued into our programme. This will provide an exposure to an alternate and global educational system for a meaningful period adding merit and invaluable experience.
