From exciting experiments in one of our six large and well-equipped laboratories, through purposeful debates and discussions to hands-on collaboration experiences, we aim to make our subject as accessible as possible to everyone who studies it. The course also aims to develop communication skills so that all students can share their scientific experiences meaningfully with others, readying them for university courses and the world of work. Biology – One simple word, one wonderful subject! Quite simply it is "The Science of Life". Biology is the study of living things, their structures, the ways in which they function, the ways they interact with each other and their environment and ultimately the way living things evolve to meet the demands of an ever-changing world. Biological concepts and theories impact every aspect of the human world from medicine to philosophy and like its subject matter it is an evolving, changing, and dynamic field of human endeavor.
