Entomology and Parasitology emphasize on biology of insects and their relationships with the disease parasites or pathogens that they transmit. Students acquire knowledge on the structure and function, life history, ecology and vector and parasite behaviour that will assist in the understanding of disease epidemiology as well as various management strategies. The structure of the programme also emphasizes on the management of pests such as insects, rodents, termites, and cockroaches that are relevant to the pest management industry, especially the application of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In addition, topics in medical and veterinary parasitology are applied to provide students with knowledge and skills in understanding parasite infection.

The primary objective of this programme is to provide students with various aspects of animals and plants biodiversity, including preservation of biodiversity, deforestation, pollution, encroachment, habitat loss, and the potential for species extinction. The subject matter covered including but not limited to ecological systems, classification and evolutionary relationships of plants and animals, physiological and developmental processes, economic aspects of botany, invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, genetic and genomic of plants and animals, interactions between animals and plants, and fundamental principles underlying animal behaviour.
