Biology, Bachelor of Science

How did life on Earth evolve? How does DNA code for important biological functions? What mechanisms make living organisms resist bacteria, viruses and parasites? These are some of the questions that biology seeks to answer.

As a student in biology at Nord University, you will learn about the foundations of life in the beautiful surroundings of Northern Norway. The bachelor’s programme in biology gives you a solid background that includes knowledge of physiology, genetic material, species diversity, chemical connections, as well as ecological and evolutionary processes. Increased knowledge and understanding of biological processes are therefore crucial to solve the future challenges of climate change, pollution, disease control and food production.
