Biology (ATAR & General)

ATAR & General

Studying a Biology course will enable students to understand the living world and the processes that govern life, providing a comprehensive foundation for further study and careers in biological sciences. Students are exposed to a variety of biological sources, including experimental data, scientific papers, field studies, models, diagrams, and secondary sources, in order to analyze biological phenomena and solve complex problems.

Students who choose Biology will complete depth-studies and investigate topics such as:

  • Cell Biology and Biochemistry
  • Genetics and Evolution
  • Ecology and Environmental Science
  • Human Anatomy and Physiology

Pathways Beyond School

Studying biology will develop students’ critical reasoning and analytical skills, including the capacity for solving intricate problems and thinking scientifically. Biology graduates are therefore valued by a wide range of employers and organisations. Just some of the career pathways associated with studying Biology are:

  • Biologist
  • Environmental Scientist
  • Geneticist
  • Biomedical Scientist
  • Conservationist
  • Research Scientist
  • Laboratory Technician
  • Teacher
