 ★Speak for the Biological Sciences Program

The Sino-Foreign Cooperative program in Biological Sciences has been jointly organized by South China Agricultural University and University College Dublin since 2013. Over the past decade, the rate for further education in oversea universities has reached an impressive 85%. By enrolling in this program, students will have the opportunity to conduct experimental research using the high-quality scientific resources at South China Agricultural University, further develop their scientific research skills with access to the extensive library and faculty resources at University College Dublin, and fully maximize their potential through the collaborative efforts of both universities.

The Biological Sciences program primarily offers fundamental courses such as Introduction to Life Science, Origin and Diversity of Life, Quantitative Analysis Techniques for Biologists, Botany, Zoology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics, and other specialized courses. Additionally, practical courses including Cell Biology Experiment, Zoology Experiment, and Microbiology Experiment are provided to enhance our experimental skills and deepen our professional understanding. The school also provides high-quality English courses to improve our language proficiency and train us in English paper writing from the ground up. Furthermore, foreign teachers are invited to deliver lectures in English specialized courses to help us connect with the forefront of global scientific research and achieve comprehensive self-improvement.

I aspire for younger students to achieve their college dreams, make continual strides in this new chapter, value time and ignite the spirit of youth.
