What the college says

This is the study of living things and can therefore be considered as one of the broadest scientific disciplines. Biology ranges in scale from the molecular, through cells and whole organisms to ecosystems and the whole biosphere. While studying Biology you will have the chance to cover topics such as Ecology, Physiology, Evolution and Genetics. Scientists within this field work with physicists and chemists on new technologies and experimental techniques such as genetic modification and bio imaging. These discoveries and many more in recent months have given us extraordinary new tools for understanding how the living world works. The study of Biology gives students the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills applicable to a great variety of future careers.
