Biological sciences, Ngā pūtaiao koiora
Biological sciences is the study of the structure, function, reproduction, growth, evolution and behaviour of living organisms.
It gives you an understanding of genetics, physiology, and how living organisms relate to one another and their environment, and how to assess and prove biological data to reach conclusions and find new areas to investigate.
You might learn about
- examining cell and tissue structure and function
- techniques to prepare specimens for examination
- laboratory and field study techniques and procedures
- how living organisms grow and reproduce
- testing theories and analysing experiment results
