Analytical and communication skills are further developed. It then develops a broad range of applications which have resulted from increasing awareness of the genome, it's structure, and interaction with the environment. Microbial World - reviews the diversity of the microbial world including bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. Emphasises their importance in the natural environment and in human affairs. Animal Physiology - examines physiological processes in a variety of animals.
Emphasis is on the integration of physiological systems in different environments and circumstances.
Plant Physiology - explores control processes operating within the developing plant and the effects of natural and artificial external stimuli. In the final stage, you will study in depth across the spectrum of contemporary biology, with an emphasis on creative and critical thinking and consideration of the impact of biological sciences. You will also undertake a research project. Project - your project gives you the opportunity to conduct your own research, either by means of an empirical study or by literature review. In each case there will be a consideration of both theoretical principles and their application to real world problems.
