Minors
CHEMISTRY Chemistry is the study of the makeup and structure of substances , how their atoms and molecules react and interact , and how that behaviour can be harnessed to transform materials , medicine , and technology . It is considered a core science and the foundation for more specialised disciplines .
GENETICS AND GENOMICS Genetics is the study of genes , their structure , function , transmission and evolution . Genomics allows researchers to expand their vision from a few genes to all of the thousands of genes that govern the lives of each organism . Together , they underpin many exciting areas such as conservation biology and forensics .
These areas are also available as minors :
• Applied microbiology
• Psychology
• Tropical environmental biology .
Follow our students into the rainforest as they take a close-up look at the biology of terrestrial tropical ecosystems in Southeast Asia .
