Students in Biology gain deep theoretical and practical knowledge of a wide subject area working closely to top research within each field. Biology students gain knowledge of the cell and other physiological processes, and how different species have evolved and how they behave and affect other species in our ecological systems. Biology students are also taught nature- and environmental protection for how environmental pollutants transport and degrade in nature, how climatic- and ecosystems are connected, and how to protect biodiversity.
