Activities related to Academia

1: Academic Field Trips

Academic field trips are the enjoyable element of education. Field trips enhance significantly the content introduced in a course through conveying certain elements that cannot be illustrated with a broad spectrum in classrooms. There are several courses in the Faculty of Biotechnology that include going on field trips. One of the main courses that involve various field trips is the "Industrial Project" and "Cell and Tissue culture". The Industrial project promotes a spectrum of benefits to the students. It allows them to be exposed to various fields which are an opportunity to aspire them creatively and professionally. We intend to visit various sites as the ones mentioned in the following table.

2: Academic Speakers

From time to time the faculty invites Academic speakers from other institutions to discuss the different disciplines of science. This provides the chance for students to comprehend the opportunities, responsibilities and experience of the professional career in the spoken of field. The industrial project course highlights their importance since it aims to inspire our thriving young scientists through the exposure of the expertise of the renowned speaker. The faculty intends to invite the following speakers to cover the stated topics mentioned in the following table:

Accommodated Academic Speaker Topic/ Field

4: Summer Training

Trainings are a fundamental tool used in the Faculty of Biotechnology. The training programs provided allows students to develop areas that suit their particular needs. During our trainings, attendees have the opportunity to interact with others from different organizations and different industries. These diverse perspectives allow students to explore innovative approaches to solve common issues. The variety of trainings offered permits learning, developing and interacting without the distractions of the everyday student duties. In addition it broadens the mind, raises issues and challenges the theoretical concept attained. Several institutes have accommodated our students for training. We plan to add training in more field than the already existing fields offered. The following is a list of accommodating hosts that we sent our students to and planning to add for the upcoming year.
