Introduction
Oxford has been the torchbearer of scientific thinking and method for centuries. Equipped with the state of the art facilities for scientific research and inquiry, Oxford remains a magnet for the world's top scientists and scholars. Students will take inspiration from Stephen Hawking and Dorothy Hodgkins's likes to explore courses in physical sciences.
This unit will enable students to develop essential knowledge and understanding of the key concepts of biology, gain an appreciation of topical issues, and develop an awareness of scientific methods. The course focuses on seven principal topics ranging from cellular structure to metabolism and photosynthesis. The organisms used to illustrate these topic areas will mainly be drawn from mammals, flowering plants, and microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses.
