Biological Sciences encompasses many aspects of the biosciences, from molecular biology through to whole organisms and ecosystems, and includes exploration of:
- Biological diversity, systematics, and conservation
- Cell and tissue structure, function, and physiology
- Ecology and behavior
- Form and function of microorganisms, protists, fungi, plants, and animals
- Genetics and mechanisms and pathways of evolution
Students will gain core technical skills and subject-specific practical laboratory- / field-based skills to help them investigate and manipulate biological material including relevant physical, chemical, and biological measurements and their application in a laboratory, field, and research project setting.
During the final year project, students will have access to cutting-edge research facilities across the molecular and ecological disciplines.
Additional skills achieved include Collation, quantitative analysis, and interpretation of experimental data, including problem-solving; communication and application of knowledge; the use of computers for data management and presentations, and the development of intellectual, personal, and team skills for employment and further study.
