About M.Sc. Zoology

The zoology program at MSC Swaminarayan University provides intensive knowledge of animal biology, physiology, taxonomy and environmental interactions. It equates students with relevant scientific understanding and research skills for animal science, protection and biomedical fields.

Important areas include cell biology, genetics, development biology, ecology, development, entomology, parasitic science and wildlife biology. Students gain practical experience through laboratory work, field survey, dissection and research -based projects.

The program is supported by experienced faculties, modern laboratories and regular field -based learning. Students also participate in seminars, workshops and research presentations to speed up their educational and analytical skills.

The purpose of the University of Swaminarayan is to produce effective zoologists who can contribute to biological diversity research, environmental protection, innovation of life science and higher education activities.
