Biology is the study of life, playing a crucial role in our everyday existence. Advances in new technologies, such as recombinant DNA and genomics have made this subject more interesting than ever. We study the processes of life from complete organismal functioning, through to the organisation of cells into tissues and organs, and cellular and molecular interaction.
6/6 in Science or relevant Science if Triple
Theoretical Biology is supported by practical demonstrations and student practical activities. Students undertake formal practical assessments (PAGs) throughout the course to demonstrate a range of practical skills. Practical activities include the use of microscopes, dissections and even the amplification of DNA using our newly acquired PCR machines, which are an exciting addition to the department. This will enable our students to develop the kind of practical skills that would previously have been limited to those continuing with Biology to degree level and beyond.
