The Biological Science Teaching major was first offered to students as a bachelor program in 1984. This major is now recognized in Zhejiang province as a key characteristic and advantageous university major. It ranks among the top three biology majors in Zhejiang. The Biological Science Teaching major is also supported by Zhejiang Province Key Laboratory of Water Environment and Marine Biological Resources Protection and Zhejiang Province Key Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Biology. The program is taught both in the form of lectures and experiments. There will also be field trips where students are expected to participate in fieldwork. In addition, an internship where students are required to undergo a teaching training program is an essential component of the study program. This major is currently not available to international students.
