Overview
Biological Science is a scientific discipline associated with the investigation of life and living life forms, including their conception, structure, work, development, advancement, dissemination, and scientific categorization. It encompasses the study of the immune system, disease and physiological processes to the global-scale study of ecosystems and biodiversity. Thus, Biological Science is essentially the study of life and the science behind it.
If you wish to study the science behind ‘life’ and develop a career in this research intensive field, pursuing a Bachelor’s in Biological Science can be the way to go. An undergraduate degree in Biological Science includes a vast variety of sub-topics of biology such as cells and molecules, genetics and evolution, among others. This course forms the part of life science degree programmes and has diverse course structure. Basically, interactions between different branches of biology have increased, owing to deeper curiosity and understanding about organisms as a whole, thereby resulting in the course gaining popularity.
