Teaching takes place in small groups to ensure all students can carry out the required practical tasks individually. The Biology Department has a proven track record of getting students into Oxford, Cambridge and many other Russell group universities to study the biological sciences. We also play a leading role in successfully guiding students through the application process for Medicine and we have many alumni who are practising doctors or in medical schools in this country and overseas. The Biology department regularly organises trips to lectures, museums, zoos and nature reserves. Students are also required to attend a residential field studies trip.
