Students will get an excellent grounding in a broad range of biology topics. They will also be able to choose courses in numerous specialties, such as ecology, microbiology, genetics, as they focus more closely on their personal interests and career goals.
Information about the living world and opportunities for Biology graduates have grown rapidly over the last few decades. Students career options will depend on their specific interests and educational focus, but could include research, education, journalism, law, public health, conservation, forensics and much more.
