Biological Sciences is an exciting and rapidly developing field, bringing together knowledge, ideas and techniques from all areas of biology to allow us to expand our understanding of the human body and its interplay with the environment. The science of life is perhaps the key science of the 21st century. We know that the next generation of biological scientists will play an essential role in addressing some of the major problems facing modern civilisation - overpopulation, environmental change, human health and wellbeing within an ageing society. As such, we can expect the opportunities that exist for skilled biological scientists to be rich, rewarding and varied, and the ongoing investment of governments in the sector means that they are only likely to grow.
