Australian National University Biology Programs

Australian National University’s Biology Programs establish fundamental knowledge about many of the areas of biology, including evolution, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry in bacteria, plants and animals.
Students completing the Biology major will be able to:

• Apply their conceptual knowledge of biological principles and processes including evolution and diversity of organisms, inheritance, storage and utilisation of information and the structure and function of molecules
• Integrate and extend basic biological concepts in areas of biology such as ecology, evolution, genetics, microbiology and immunology, neuroscience and physiology and plant biology.
• Explain how biology is an evidence-based discipline involving observation, experimentation and hypothesis testing and how it relates to other scientific disciplines.
• Critically assess biological information and apply it to theoretical, experimental and professional contexts.
