What the college says

Why choose to study Biology?: The biological sciences have led to so many advances in our society today. Many diseases have been eradicated, while others are now curable. New crops have been developed that grow more successfully and help to feed the world. There are controversies too: e.g. about genetically modified crops and cloning. It is important that we understand the issues and that we are well informed enough to make reasoned decisions. What will I study?: Some of the topics and concepts that you study are: cells, cell transport, biochemistry, enzymes, digestion, cell cycle, the genetic code, energy and exercise and transport systems in animals and plants. Many of the topics and concepts studied you will recognise as developments of work first met at GCSE Level, and the emphasis of biology on modern developments. What skills will I develop?• You will learn to apply your biological knowledge to unfamiliar contexts. • You will learn to analyse, to evaluate and to synthesise.• Through devising and planning investigative work, you will develop transferable problem-solving skills. Opportunities: Biology is essential for higher education courses in a range of scientifically-related courses, e.g. medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, biochemistry, dietetics and physiotherapy.
