L3 Biology- L3BIO

pre-requisites

14 credits in L2 Biology, including a pass in at least one external. Students who do not meet these prerequisites must have internal credits and attempted both L2 Biology externals and bring their papers to course confirmation.

course description

Biology helps us to understand the connection between us and the world that we live in. It provides the students with the opportunities to learn about all living things and how they interact with each other and the environment. By developing research and investigation skills, the students identify Biology as the heart of the many of many social and economic issues in New Zealand as well as the processes that other organisms carry out in order to survive. By studying Level 3 Biology, students learn to make more informed decisions about biological issues that have economic, politcal and values based implications, how animals maintain stable internal environments, human evolution and responses of plants and animals to their environments. ​
