Summary
A unique appreciation of life and a better understanding of the living world are gained through studying the Biological Sciences course. This course encourages students to be analytical, to participate in problem-solving and to systematically explore fascinating and intriguing aspects of living systems, from the microscopic level through to ecosystems. Students develop a range of practical skills and techniques through investigations and fieldwork in authentic contexts such as marine reefs, endangered species, urban ecology, viticulture or biotechnology. Scientific evidence is used to make informed decisions about controversial issues.
