The current curriculum applied by the Bachelor of Biology programme was developed based on the decree of Higher education ministry of research and technology Indonesia Number 44, 2015. Curriculum updates and improvement development were designed regarding IQF, graduates, National standard of higher education, Biology Consortium of Indonesia considering orientation changes of 4.0 industrial era and OBE. The curriculum was arranged based on the Learning outcome that had been set before. Programme outcomes are also designed to meet the development of science, technology, and global culture that cannot be separated from the development of the capacity potential of human resources owned by the biology programme.

BODY OF KNOWLEDGE OF BIOLOGY STUDY PROGRAMME
| Body of Knowledge (BK) | Course Review Description | Course Name (relevant with BK) |
| Cell And Molecular Biology | Its learning materials include biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology to understand the structure and function of cells. Cell biology study is related to the structure and function of eukaryotic cells, biosynthesis of cellular membranes and organelles, cell growth, transport, receptors, and cell signaling, cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix, chromosomal structure, concepts of DNA, RNA, and DNA synthesis. Molecular Biology considers prokaryotic genetic recombination, transcription from DNA to RNA, protein translation. Control of genes expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Basic Molecular Technique-DNA Isolation. Genetic Markers (Hybridization, PCR, Sequence) | Compulsory course:
Biochemistry and Organic chemistry, Cell Biology and Molecular Biology
Elective courses: Bacteriology, Bakteriologi, Biology of Yeast, Enzymology, Proteomic |
| Body of Knowledge (BK) | Course Review Description | Course Name (relevant with BK) |
| Physiology | The learning materials are about animal and plant physiology. Animal physiology course discusses the principles, processes, and mechanisms involved in biological function in animals, the cellular basis of animal physiology with consideration on the physiology of homeostasis, the endocrine and reproductive system, osmoregulatory, and digest system in the animal. This plant physiology course discusses an introduction to the structure of plant biomolecules, plant metabolism, and the physiological processes that underlie germination of seeds, plant growth and development, and the response of plants to the environment. | Compulsory course:
Plant Physiology, Animal Physiology
Elective courses: Animal Bio Reproduction, Human Biology, Immunology, Ecto dan Endoparasyt, Animal Endocrinology, Laboratory Animal Management |
| Body of Knowledge (BK) | Course Review Description | Course Name (relevant with BK) |
| Genetics | Genetics course elaborates the fundamental principles of inheritance at cellular, organismal, and population levels. It is a study of how physical characters are inherited and how chemical structures affect those characters and passed to the offspring. This field also studies DNA as the genetic material of an organism, synthesis protein and how material genetics and environmental controls phenotypic characters of organisms, and how changes in the DNA sequence cause of mutation result in variation within individuals and populations of species, leading towards evolutionary changes. It also introduces plasmid recombinant technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms, or parts to develop or create different products. | Compulsory course:
Genetics, Biotechnology
Elective courses: Population Genetics, Conservation Genetics, Animal Biotechnology, Plant Biotechnology, Reproduction and Plant Breeding |
| Body of Knowledge (BK) | Course Review Description | Course Name (relevant with BK) |
| Structure And Development (Plant and Animal) | The learning materials include plant and animal structures and development. The study material for plants discusses the external (morphology) and internal (anatomy) structures and development of higher plants. It also discusses the development of the primary and secondary structures of plants. Plant growth and development in the vegetative and generative phases. Embryogenesis and organogenesis of the plant. The study material for the structure and development of animals discusses the histological structure of fundamental tissues and specific tissues that make up an animal organ and explains the internal structures and processes of the formation and development of various organ systems in vertebrates. The development of animals also discusses the transitional or indirect stages of development in some vertebrates, mechanisms of metamorphosis, and regeneration. | Compulsory course:
Plant Structure and Development, Animal Structure, and Development,
Plant Tissue Culture, Microbiology

| Biosystematic And Evolution | Biosystematics is the study of the diversification of organisms and the relationships between these organisms. Biosystematics includes the subdisciplines of taxonomy and systematics. Taxonomy includes discovering species and recognition, identification, diagnosis, comparison, classification, and naming. Systematics studies the evolutionary relationships between species and higher taxonomic units (such as genera and families) in an evolutionary relation. The biology systematics also discussed the biodiversity of living things, including plants (cryptogam and phanerogams), animals (vertebrate and invertebrate), bacteria, algae, fungi, and their implementation in the classification of living things and their conservation aspects. | Compulsory course:
