Biology

Course summary

Biology has expanded enormously in the last four decades, from the study of molecules and DNA to ecosystems and artificial intelligence. Biologists around the world are trying to solve significant challenges including disease and antibiotic resistance, climate change, food production and genetic technologies. You will work in small groups or independently with all the necessary resources to develop your biological knowledge. You will cover topics including biological molecules, cells, organisms and their environment, genetic information and variation, energy transfer, organisms responding to change, genetics, populations and ecosystems, and the control of gene expression. There are also lots of opportunities for you to get involved in a wide range of national competitions, field trips, science events and university visits as part of your studies. We set high expectations that allow our students to achieve their full potential in a friendly and supportive environment and we will challenge you every step of the way. We will guide you through the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) and Bio Medical Admissions Test (BMAT) exams to ensure that you have every opportunity to fulfil your ambitions.
