Biology

Course summary

You will study a broad range of topics including: cell biology, biochemistry, ecology, classification, exchange and transport, communication, energy transfers and genetics. Extensive training in a wide range of laboratory and fieldwork techniques is a key part of the course. The entire course is designed to be interactive, creative and dynamic: you will be expected to think, reflect, read, take risks, create, discuss and present, and, naturally, to have an open and curious mind. Lessons are often student-led, with a high degree of independence and proactivity expected throughout. During the course you will also have the opportunity to attend theatre trips, cinema screenings, study days and lectures.
