Biological Sciences: The wonder and complexity of life on Earth. The beauty of DNA structure and function, the intricate communication between cells, tissues and organs, the exquisite nature of living organisms and how they interact with and create our environment. We study the structure, function, development, origin, evolution and diversity of living organisms from molecules to ecosystems to better understand the world we live in.
We offer research-based doctoral and master's Degrees. As a research student, you'll work under the guidance and supervision of a professor with the additional guidance of a faculty supervisory committee, take courses as appropriate, and develop and execute a body of research which results in a dissertation or thesis.
