Overview
It is an exciting time to study Biology, from the ability to read and change DNA sequences to advances in our understanding of health and environmental issues that affect biodiversity, food production and disease. A new era has arrived in which we have the opportunity, through understanding and applying biological knowledge, to find pioneering ways to address individual, regional and global issues that affect our changing world. This biology course has been developed utilizing the internationally recognised expertise and facilities of the University of Hertfordshire, Oaklands College, Rothamsted Research and The Royal Veterinary College. It is aimed at students who wish to enhance their understanding of plant and animal science, with particular regard to food production and security, ecology, environmental issues and sustainability, both in the business world and in the management of animals, plants and land.
