In the
School of Biological Sciences (BIOLS) the life sciences
are studied free of the constraints encountered when subjects such as zoology,
botany, microbiology, genetics, biochemistry and experimental psychology are
separated into discreet departments. The integrated structure of the School has
enabled us to develop undergraduate courses and research interests in
multidisciplinary areas where progress is most exciting, such as molecular
biology and the neurosciences. The School is one of only eight Biological Science
departments in the country to receive the highest research rating in the
Government's recent research assesment exercise.
Teaching faculty within the School are divided into three main groups -
Biochemistry, Biology and Experimental Psychology - but collaboration among
groups means that firm demarcations are avoided.
