Understanding life and living at the level of molecules, cells and whole systems, the biological and external factors that affect survival and death, the evolutionary process, and conserving life on Earth in the face of development, remains a challenge for scientists in the 21st century. Scientific breakthroughs in the biological sciences in recent years have underpinned advances in animal and plant conservation, medicine, biotechnology, food production and food safety, as well as nutrition and health science.

With a strongly research-led focus, the School contributes to a broad portfolio of programmes in the biological sciences and related specializations. There are five (3-Year curriculum) or four (4-Year curriculum) Majors and Minors offered to Bachelor of Science students.
