Why Study Biology?<br />
♦<br />
♦<br />
Biological careers can be various, fascinating and rewarding.<br />
Biologists frequently play a pivotal role in dealing with various<br />
challenges that face society. Through studying the subject<br />
students are given the opportunity to develop their practical,<br />
reasoning, interpreting, evaluating and communication skills.<br />
Over the years the department has gained excellent Advanced<br />
Level results which have enabled students to pursue their<br />
chosen university courses.<br />
Possible Future Areas for Study<br />
♦<br />
♦<br />
♦<br />
Biology is a subject that opens doors to many career<br />
pathways including medicine, veterinary science,<br />
physiotherapy, radiography, marine science, sport science,<br />
nursing, environmental studies and teaching.<br />
Past students have been extremely successful in all the above<br />
fields and many are now employed locally due to their ability<br />
to converse fluently in both Welsh and English.<br />
Almost all universities offer courses associated with aspects<br />
of biology and students are advised to consider the options<br />
available to them early in the Advanced Level Course.<br />
