The Biological Science Programs at Faculty of Science, Khon Kaen University are interdepartmental that aim to provide a broad range of coursework and research experiences from four departments, including Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Environmental Science. The Programs offer MS and Ph.D. degrees both coursework and non-coursework options.  Students will work in research-oriented environments that will support them to conduct their own research.  Importantly, interdepartmental settings will provide a great variety of research topics and opportunities to work across disciplines.  Details about the programs are available in the following sections.
