As our department, we are teaching geography and planning to conduct Bachelor of Environmental Study, master course and doctorate course next year. We are currently opening another diploma course. Students need to gain 60 marks in English and a total marks of 388 in order to pursue geography in my department.
If the students want to study environmental study course, they need to score 65 marks in English and a total marks of 388 in the matriculation examination. We can teach 60 students in this semester. Geography is the study of the physical properties of the earth, including how humans affect and are affected by them. Any subject considered in terms of its physical distribution. We have to study the correlations between humans and its environment and can apply to it with the help of modern technology. Environmental study becomes well- known and it can make a sustainable effort to our ecosystem, which is a system formed by its environment that functions as a unit. This subject can teach them special thinking skills and later it can enhance regional development which is a crucial combination of our social life.
Dr. San Shwe (Professor and department head,
Archaeology Department, Yangon University)
Students can attend our classes if they achieve 60 marks in English and total marks of 380 in their matriculation examination. Many graduates of Archaeology work as lecturers, tourist guides and government officers in their respective places across the country. It is a very interesting subject which can promote our tourism industry and rapid economic growth.
Dr. Aung Kyaw (Professor of Mathematics Department, Yangon University)
Teachers play an important role in fostering mathematics skills and we teach them according to international standards which are available for consideration and use worldwide. We are now conducting the courses from first year to doctorate, and trying to open refresher courses for the teachers. Mathematics can boost better and faster calculations skills, clear logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Dr. Dewa Aung (Professor and department head of Geology, Yangon University)
We mainly teach geology and conduct the diploma courses which can provide to understand the basic concepts and principles of geology. Our department has introduced environmental module in the curriculum for this course, and can encourage graduates research work towards geology approach for use of natural resources without harming natural environment. As you also know that Myanmar is a country which is full of natural resources and more opportunities are available for them. I’d like to urge the students to take part in nation-building process through education.
Dr. Aye Pe (Professor and department head, Botany Department, Yangon University)
We are conducting the botany and other related courses for this semester. Moreover we are planning to open another environmental science course very soon. Those who want to attend this major are to get distinction in Botany and total marks should be over 400. The numbers of students are very limited, for we can accept only 50 students this year. Botany is the scientific study of plants, and it involves the plant life of geographical areas. They can easily find suitable jobs after their graduation.
