Details
The study of life itself, in Biology you will study the theories and principles involved in living systems from cells and organisms to the genetic relationships that exist in our environment. Through both theory and regular practical hands-on sessions you will examine animal and plant material, study molecules and chemicals that life is built upon and explore the amazing human body.
