Biology is a fascinating subject in which you can learn about life on a range of scales from molecular - for example understanding the intricate chain of chemical reactions that drives photosynthesis, to the planetary - for example understanding the impact of climate change on the distribution of species. Learning biology develops your ability to synthesis large amounts of information, to understanding the relationships between things and to think logically. You will also learn how to plan and conduct complex practical investigations.
