Course Overview

Biology is one of the most actively changing subjects in the sciences, with biologists constantly seeking solutions to the many challenges that shape our world. You will engage with the subject at every level, from the molecular level through whole organisms and beyond to their relationships with each other and the wider environment. The course deals with many different groups of organisms in terms of their structure, development, physiology, metabolism, and ecology. It also explains how a range of new techniques, such as the sequencing of the entire genomes of an increasing number of species, has added enormously to knowledge so that modern biologists can address questions that were unanswerable in the past. A key strength of the course is the clear link between this new information and established knowledge. For example, the new 'genomics' material is taught in association with Mendelian genetics, and modern 'bioinformatics' methods are used to show how evolution can be followed by examining DNA and amino acid sequences from different species.
