What mistakes should you avoid before applying for biology?
- Avoid judging by the name: the same field appears as "Life Sciences" and "Botany", so read the study plan before you compare.
- Public biology seats at KAU, Majmaah University and Taibah University go through admission in their region, so read the unified admission guide before ranking your choices.
- A biology hourly rate at one university and a semester fee at another do not compare; use the full-time semester above.
- If biology is your second choice, learn the university transfer rules now.
