In past two decades, biological researches became dominant and greatly change our health, food and natural environment. Following the trends of modern biological sciences, the College of Life Science, NTU, was established in 2003. The Department of Life Science is reorganized from the former Institute of Fishery Science, Departments of Zoology and Department of Botany. The department offers undergraduate program only from 2003-2013. In 2013, the department merges the Institutes of Zoology, and offers master and doctoral degree. Department Goals: A. Promote leading research B. Training life science professionals with a diverse field of expertise and vision Educational objectives: Training life science professionals with self-learning, critical thinking and independence by integrating basic biological knowledge and modern biotechnology. A. Processing a broad and thorough professional knowledge. B. Having a sufficient historical background and prospective about biological sciences. C. Using multidisciplinal knowledge (natural sciences, social sciences and humanities) to explore phenomenon of life. D. Using the scientific method to solve problems with a scientific attitude. E. Having the ability to study a scientific topic, such as collect wide range data, determine the validity, integrate the data, and present the result and idea in a structured way. F. Having biological experiment operating skills and the ability to use relevant equipments. G. Analyzing the experimental data using mathematical and statistical methods, and showing the results.生命科學（生物科學）近二十年來的發展風起雲湧，對人類的福祉與環境的維護有重大貢獻；生物技術的應用，突破原來醫學與農業發展緩慢之瓶頸，幫助解決疾病、糧食、資源利用及環境保育之難題，並帶動了下一波產業革命。此外，生物科學之教學與研究趨勢，已打破原有以生物群為區分的方式（例如動物學、植物學、昆蟲學、漁業學等），而改為以研究對象之組織層級做整合，如分子生物學、細胞學、生理學、生態學、演化生物學等。 有鑑於此一生命科學的前瞻概念，本校於92學年度設立生命科學院，包括大學部2系及5個研究所。其中，「生命科學系」由原理學院的動物學系、植物學系與漁業科學研究所部份成員整合而成，開設大學部與研究所生物學核心課程，並支援全校開授基礎生物學大一必修課程。Academic Institute
