What the college says

Biology is an ever -developing subject that encompasses everything from the molecular study of life right up to the study of animal and plant communities. With the sector being so broad, the need for skilled biologists is ever present. Depending on individual interests, biology careers range from the study of living organisms, such as animals, plants, humans or even bacteria, to helping to develop biological knowledge and understanding of living processes for a number of different purposes, including treatment of disease and sustaining the natural environment.
