What will I learn?
The General Biology Course provides a focused, hands-on introduction to pond ecosystems, covering abiotic drivers and trophic interactions through to cellular processes and rapid evolutionary responses. You'll design simple field studies, apply practical sampling and lab methods, analyse ecological and genetic data using basic statistics, and communicate clear, well-structured scientific findings in concise written reports.
