About the course

Biology was the pioneer science at York, offering the first undergraduate and graduate programs in the 1960s. Blogy studies living things and the discipline defines a living creature, technically called a living organism, as one that has a metabolism and reproduceios. Biologists study living organisms from many different angles, including behaviour, evolution and ecology as well as cell and molecular biology and genetics. They study all different kinds of species from plants to insects, viruses to humans. Biology can also be combined with other fields. For example, biochemistry, biophysics, biotechnology and biopsychology are all important fields related to biology.
