- Have the ability to deal and identify the different kinds of insects (harmful and benefit insects).
- Studding the environmental aspects of ecosystems, parasitology for human health and the safe development of the animals.
- Qualifying the student to serve and conduct research in a wide range of disciplines such as toxicology, insecticides chemistry and pest control.
- Canstudent integrate and develop the professional transferable skills as exemplified by communication, information technology, problem solving, and life-. Learning and teamwork to participate effectively in research activities.
- Qualifying the student to apply the skills of methodology to a range of techniques used in chemistry, physics, mathematic, computer, botany, microbiology to serve entomological field.
- Qualifying the student to work in various job opportunities for entomology as researcher in academic, educational and environmental institutions. Opportunities are in toxicology, public health and agricultural pest control, agricultural, chemical, biological supplies, forensic sectors and others.
