What the college says

The diversity of life on our planet is the most unique and complex phenomenon in the universe. The study of biology allows you to understand the complex interactions occurring between the tens of billions of cells that form the tissues and organs you are using to read this prospectus right now. It will help you explain the form and function of the diversity of living things that surround you (including the ones that live inside you) day in and day out. Biology can not only be used to explain the past and present, it is shaping your future. As you read this, biologists are crafting synthetic genomes and synthetic cells that have the potential to solve some of our biggest environmental and agricultural problems. Even as you are thinking about that, new approaches to genetic modification are being tested and developed that might allow genetic conditions such as cystic fibrosis to become a thing of the past. Every time you look at a living thing and wonder about how it works, why it lives where it does or how it came to be, you are asking the fundamental questions that lay at the heart of this exciting science. In short, biology is a beautiful thing! If that is not enough for you, biology is, of course, a natural prerequisite for potential medicine, veterinary and nursing qualifications as well as a valuable addition to the A-levels of students with many different subject aspirations ranging from Egyptology to Engineering.
