What the college says

People will always require healthy food, novel medicines, clean water, sensibly-produced crops, and fuel that is carbon neutral. Without a workforce well trained in the biological sciences, none of these will happen. The combination of biology-specific and general skills means that biologists are versatile and competitive in the job market. Students who have studied Biology are extremely attractive to employers in all industry sectors, not just in science. For example, many biology graduates will have very successful careers in commerce, industry, working for the civil service, or in the not-for-profit sector. We are about to enter the Genetic age and you should be a part of it. Topics we study: Year 1: Biological Molecules, Nucleic acids, Enzymes, Cell membrane and division, Transport in plants and animals, Disease, Biodiversity, Classification and evolution. Year 2: Homeostasis, Neuronal and hormonal communication, Photosynthesis, Respiration, Inheritance, Biotechnology, Ecosystems and sustainability.
