Studying biological sciences abroad

A biological sciences degree offers international students a diverse and dynamic study of life - from genes to ecosystems - through hands-on lab work and cutting-edge research, opening doors to global careers in fields like conservation, biotechnology and medical science.

Biological sciences is an academic discipline that broadly covers any subject that studies living organisms and the science of 'life'. This can include, but is not limited to, biology, zoology, genetics, plant science, and microbiology.

As a student of biological sciences, you may look at things such as the interactions between animals, and how genes are expressed, among other things.
