Biology Skills

Many students starting their studies at a university do not have the skills they need to cope with tertiary education. Biology Skills porvides an effective solution to this problem for those studying the sciences.

Using the topic of biodiversity as background content, Biology Skills is designed to teach the most important techniques required for a science degree, enabling the student to learn new techniques at the same time as revising the course work. Designed in the form of a handy workbook, Biology Skills is interactive and flexible enough to be used by students in their own study groups or in more formal tutorial groups with the guidance of a tutor.
