Biology

คำอธิบายหลักสูตร

The Cambridge Immerse Biology course is both challenging and engaging, with students learning in small groups to ensure that each student’s needs are addressed. In addition to covering material that is studied at the A-level and IB-level, students are also taught advanced university-level topics in a way that is approachable and easy to understand.

In addition to consolidating students’ existing understanding of Biology, the course introduces students to more advanced topics and debates that will not only spur intellectual curiosity, but will also assist in preparing to study the discipline at university level.

Study of the biological sciences includes a diverse and exciting range of topics, from cellular structure to genetics, and even to whole ecosystems. The discoveries scientists make about life processes are crucial to tackle challenges to human welfare and environmental protection. The Cambridge Immerse programme is a unique opportunity to explore fascinating topics within Biological Sciences, to debate recent scientific advances and the potential interactions of Biology with other disciplines.

To equip participants with valuable critical thinking skills, the syllabus also examines the past and current debates occurring within the discipline, exploring the concepts of the philosophy of science and Darwin’s theory of evolution – which has been a historical point of contention between scientists and religion. The syllabus also considers the controversial contributions of leading biologists, including the eminent Professor Dawkins, one of the world’s leading scientists and author of ‘The God Delusion’, amongst others, and to learn and debate the current assertions within the field.

The Cambridge Immerse Biology curriculum also includes undertaking a group project. This project, which is completed during the programme, enables participants to develop their research skills by exploring specific fields of interest, culminating in an assessed presentation to the programme tutor(s).
