From microscopic bacteria to the gigantic blue whale, biology is the scientific study of the vast and diverse world of living organisms.
In recent years biologists have revealed a wealth of knowledge about ourselves and the millions of living organisms with which we share our world.
It is important for everyone to develop an informed idea of how we fit into the complex nature of our planet, and the study of biology allows us to do that.
The biology courses at Inverness Royal Academy will help you to gain knowledge and understanding of this extremely important area of science.
The study of biology will allow you to explore the diverse processes of life from the interactions of plants and animals to the organisation of cells into tissues and organs.
The study of biology will also introduce you to ideas at the forefront of modern scientific development.
