Are you keen to learn more about how our bodies work, how cells work together and allow our bodies to function, and how all of this works with the environment?
Do you enjoy analysing and solving problems?
Do you want a rewarding and challenging career?
Then biology is right for you!
Biology happens all around us, it governs who we are. As you understand it more, you can appreciate how much every bit of our lives depends on our understanding of this.
By taking Biology you develop some very useful skills that can be applied well outside of the subject discipline; these include problem solving, numeracy and practical skills as well as developing a broad scientific background. As a result it is a highly respected and useful qualification for higher education and employment in a wide range of areas.
We have an excellent achievement rate on this course and excellent feedback from our past students. In fact, some of our past students have gone on to become pharmacists, optometrists and doctors. Our students have been accepted to study at university medicine, bio-medical science, pharmacy, dentistry and optometry.
