Honours subject area
Biology is the study of life, ranging from molecules and their modes of action, through to understanding complex communities and their relationship with the environment.
We are living in a most exciting time for studying and working in biology as new technologies, such as recombinant DNA, genomics and proteomics, place powerful tools in the hands of biologists.
These advances, along with our ability to process and interpret large volumes of complex data, have generated a gigantic leap in our understanding of the fundamental molecular mechanisms and processes controlling life.
