Biology

Course summary

Biology is the study of life. From new Alzheimer's treatments to the recent Ebola epidemic, Biology is always in the news. In the first term of this course, you will study the important molecules which make up cells and the organelles within the cells. In the second term, you will study how cells form organs which carry out specific functions in organisms e.g. the heart in the circulatory system and the immune system, important in protection from disease. You'll work through a varied practical-led course with lessons, supportive workshops and other opportunities such as trips.
