- develop conceptual understanding of the major themes of biology
- acquire and apply knowledge of the methods, tools and techniques used in the study of biology
- develop the ability to analyze and evaluate data
- appreciate the possibilities and limitations of science
- use technology skills in a scientific context
- communicate and collaborate effectively
- become aware of the ethical, environmental, economic, cultural and social impact of science.
