Preparing Students for Careers in Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Sciences

The department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Sciences.  AUS programs are current and are accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation of the Ministry of Education's Higher Education Affairs Division in the United Arab Emirates. The university is also accredited in the USA.  All three programs are structured to provide students with the scientific foundations needed to solve technical problems facing society today and the practical hands-on experience that makes them competitive in the job market.  We offer:

Modern Facilities: Our curriculum responds to the latest research in the field and makes sure that our students are practiced on latest scientific equipment and have been taught to think creatively.

Low Student to Faculty Ratios:  Our low student-teacher ratio can guarantee that you get the attention and support you need to reach your highest potential.

High Graduate and Employment Success:  Depending on the major selected, our graduates are pursuing successful careers in genetics and immunology research; university and hospital research centers; quality control, industrial and chemical laboratories; petroleum refineries and oil companies; chemical manufacturing plants; environmental protection; conservation and protection of natural resources; and many other diverse areas. Many of our graduates are also currently studying for graduate degrees in some of the best universities in the world.
