Bachelor in Biology

Biology is the scientific study of living organisms, covering their structure, function, growth, evolution, and interactions with their environments across scales ranging from molecules and cells to ecosystems. Students study core areas such as cell biology, genetics, microbiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology, along with laboratory training in techniques used to observe, measure, and analyze biological systems. A typical curriculum includes courses in general biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, ecology, and zoology or botany, often supplemented by fieldwork and laboratory-based research projects in the later years of study. Graduates of biology programs pursue careers in research laboratories, healthcare and clinical laboratory settings, environmental and conservation organizations, food and agricultural industries, and education, applying their scientific training across a range of applied and research-oriented roles. The strong foundation in scientific method and laboratory technique also prepares graduates for postgraduate study in biology, medicine, or related life sciences fields for those who wish to specialize further. This bachelor's program in Biology is offered at Ankara University in Ankara, Turkey, with instruction delivered in English over a duration of 4 years. As one of Turkey's oldest and largest public universities, Ankara University provides the laboratories and faculty needed to support a broad biology curriculum spanning multiple subfields of the discipline. Studying the program in English over the four years is intended to prepare graduates with the scientific vocabulary and communication skills needed to engage with international research literature and pursue further study or careers that involve working across language and institutional contexts.
