The Department of Biosystems Technology in Faculty of Technology at University of Jaffna emphasizes applying biosystems principles to crops, animals, and microorganisms. The programme is designed to comply with the biosystems program accreditation manual of the National Biotechnology Industry Association (NBIA) and level 6 of the Sri Lankan qualification framework (SLQF 6). Students would be awarded a bachelor of biosystems technology honours degree either commercial green farming technology or food production technology after the completion of a four-year programme, based on their field of specializations. Biosystems technologists learn to integrate the knowledge of green farming and food production into technological applications in order to develop practical solutions to problems, and tend to pursue careers where they can help people, preserve the environment, and tackle societal problems. The major focus of the department is to produce skillful, knowledgeable, and competent undergraduates who can develop sustainable and resilient solutions to current and future global challenges. Biosystems staff often employ students to work on innovative research projects during the final year and giving them an opportunity to apply their knowledge. The programme is also deliberated to integrate both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in collaboration with industry partners by providing industrial training to gain real-world working experiences. The biosystems degree can serve a wide spectrum of career interests and provide students with excellent career opportunities. To make our goals successful, the department is having highly qualified academics, well-equipped state-of-art laboratories and others with ultramodern gadgets infrastructure facilities.
