Biology

Course summary

Put away your preconceptions and get ready to tackle Biology from a new perspective. Get your hands dirty as you split your time between the classroom, labs, and serious field work. Gain knowledge and experience as you prepare for a real career, in a real way. Biology is an area of explosive scientific, intellectual, and technological advances. Attention is focusing on the origin and evolution of living organisms (even their possible existence on other planets), the molecular mechanics of heredity, the processes of disease and immunity, the ecological balance among life forms, the effect of synthetic chemicals on molecular functions of the cell, the biological basis of behaviour, and the extraordinary technologies for the creation of useful new characteristics in micro-organisms, plants, and animals.
