Biology is the study of life and embraces many different areas of both biological and biomedical interest. Studies range from exploring molecular structures, to understanding how genes work, the development and behaviour of microorganisms, plants and animals, their evolution, and their environmental interactions and impacts. It reveals core scientific knowledge of how cells and organisms function, and results in applications that underpin up-to-the-minute technological and scientific advances. This is the study of animals at all levels from their molecular and cell biology to their behaviour and evolution. This area of study covers arthropod biology, evolution and quantitative zoology. Studying zoology prepares you for a range of careers in conservation, research or teaching.
