ILOs against Modules Mapping Programme Learning Outcome Related Core Modules The role of the biological sciences in contributing to knowledge. The applications of biological knowledge to human and global affairs, and their ethical implications. The context of their chosen programme of studies within the spectrum of interrelated disciplines that comprise the biological sciences and how these disciplines are interrelated. The scientific importance of current advances in knowledge in specialised areas which are enriched by staff research and scholarship. The philosophical underpinnings of science and the importance of the progression from description and pattern seeking through to scientific advancement by hypothesis testing How to collect, analyse and interpret data according to the hypotheses being tested. The organisation of natural assemblages and the processes that shape them. The extent and constituency of biological diversity.
