Course summary

Biologists are scientists who study the natural world and all that is living within it, from the largest mammals down to our very own microscopic DNA. At Gunnersbury we seek to understand how animals and organisms work (including us humans); how we evolved; what can take us sick or improve our health. Biologists use this knowledge to achieve breakthroughs such as: trying to stop the spread of disease; track down natural resources; improve public health, animal care and conservation; work out the true impacts of factors such as pollution. Our excellent teaching and brilliant experiments make Biology such unexceptionally enjoyable subject.
