BIOLOGY
Course summary
Who is the course for? Biology is a fascinating and popular choice of subject. Teaching is based around a weekly lecture, practical and tutorial sessions. Problem solving and communication skills are developed through class and independent study. Students are expected to analyse factual information and communicate their ideas in writing. The subject is taught on a topic basis and each topic is supported with a study guide that outlines the content and details of lectures and practical work. What can it lead to? Biology is a foundation for progression into dentistry, medicine, veterinary science, pharmacy and the full range of subjects embraced by the term biology. It is also a sound basis for progression into nursing, physiotherapy and other caring professions. What will I study?
