生物学是对生命的研究，范围从分子及其作用方式一直到理解复杂的社区及其与环境的关系。随着重组DNA，基因组学和蛋白质组学等新技术将强大的工具置于生物学家的手中，我们正处于最激动人心的生物学研究和工作时代。这些进步以及我们处理和解释大量复杂数据的能力，使我们对控制生命的基本分子机制和过程的理解有了巨大的飞跃。
The Bachelor of Arts honours year is both a preparation for postgraduate study and a capstone to an undergraduate degree. Honours can be the culmination of your formal education, an experience that extends your intellectual range, hones your research abilities, as well as analytical and communication techniques, and helps you to develop the personal and professional skills needed to see a research project though to completion. This course may be suitable for undergraduate students with one major. Honours can also be the first step on a path to a career as an academic or professional researcher. The honours year comprises seminar classes and work toward a short thesis on an independent research project under the supervision of an academic staff member who is an expert in the field of your research.<br><br>Biology is the study of life, ranging from molecules and their modes of action, through to understanding complex communities and their relationship with the environment.<br><br>We are living in a most exciting time for studying and working in biology as new technologies, such as recombinant DNA, genomics and proteomics, place powerful tools in the hands of biologists.<br><br>These advances, along with our ability to process and interpret large volumes of complex data, have generated a gigantic leap in our understanding of the fundamental molecular mechanisms and processes controlling life.
