Welcome to the Bachelor of Science - Biology

Biology is the study of all aspects of living organisms and ranges from the study of molecular processes of the cell to the study of how organisms interact with each other and their environment. The name itself means the "study of life" and a formal study of this discipline allows you to gain an in-depth understanding of the complexity of life and important concepts with the guidance of experts in multiple fields. Biology helps us better understand the characteristics and the impact of external influences, both short-term and long-term, upon the continuing processes of life in our world. It helps us contribute to human health advancements as well as gain a more in-depth understanding and awareness of the world around us. The world needs biologists more than ever as we face new and increasingly important challenges.
