Biology

Course summary

Biology is a diverse subject studied as often by those who perceive themselves to be a (true) scientist as those that do not. In the past the subject was traditionally split into zoology and botany but increasingly new areas such as genetics, microbiology and biochemistry have come to the fore. It is these new areas of cutting edge research which see the subject increasingly applicable to the modern world as it contributes to our understanding of the health of plants, animals, humans and indeed the broader environment.
