Study biology abroad

The study of biology abroad for Russian and foreign students has become one of the most popular educational areas in recent decades. The most important discoveries in medicine, genetics, pharmacy, molecular research, ecology require a deep knowledge of biology. Prestigious universities that occupy top positions in world rankings open up to 70 biology programs per year. They invite future scientists from all over the world to study and work in such areas as:

• Biology of humans, plants, animals
• Genetics
• Genomics
• Bioinformatics
• Biochemistry
• Biophysics
• Biomolecular studies
• Biofunctional studies
• Molecular, cellular biosciences
• Molecular cloning
• Biopharmaceutics/Engineering Biotechnology
• Environmental and Health Sciences
• Microbiology
• Stem cell biotechnology.

Many areas of study are interdisciplinary in nature and are at the intersection of biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine, anthropology, sociology, etc. Faculties with the study of biology provide students with a high quality of education: they are taught by outstanding scientists, leading experts in their scientific fields.

To prepare for admission to elite universities with biology abroad for Russian foreign students, it is optimal to obtain an international certificate of complete secondary education or completion of programs with in-depth study of specialized subjects of the natural science cycle (GCSE, A-Level, International Baccalaureate, Foundation, High School Diploma ). This will make it easier for them to adapt to the educational process in a foreign educational institution, get the best education, and engage in advanced research.

Graduates inhigher educational institutions who have been educated as a biologist abroad demonstrate a high level of satisfaction with their education and the percentage of employment. According to the latest global university rankings, graduates of bachelor's and master's degrees with the study of biology find work in the field of scientific research, education, healthcare, and nature conservation. Learning outcomes in biology programs:

• Deep academic knowledge of the subject
• Skills to critically apply theoretical foundations and research methods
• Ability to collect, analyze, synthesize information, assess the importance and reliability of the sources of its receipt
• Skills of perception, critical evaluation of scientific ideas, development of creative solutions, independent development of knowledge, establishing links between various disciplinary approaches and methods
• Ability to communicate, present scientific hypotheses and arguments orally, in writing, work in a team using various communications
• Formed understanding of the ethical consequences of the implementation of scientific ideas.

The number of academic programs with in-depth study of biology is not so large, but some universities offer classes in summer camps on courses with in-depth study of biology.

Studying biology in secondary schools abroad and obtaining international certificates of secondary education becomes for foreign students a great advantage when entering universities abroad.

• Most leading foreign universities accept prestigious certificates of completion of the A-level, IB, High School Diploma programs - you can enter these programs after the 10th grade.
• GCSE, MYP programs are open for graduates of grades 8–9: training on them allows you to master biology, chemistry, physics at a deep level, improve academic English, and develop self-study skills.
• For graduates of foreign schools, who wish to enter Biology departments at foreign universities, admission to Foundation program is open. It is an annual preparation program for admission, designed specifically for foreign students who do not have the necessary qualifications to register directly for the course. The program allows you to study modules in biology, other natural sciences, to master advanced knowledge of the English language (both general and academic).
• Admission to US universities to study biology is possible after obtaining an associate degree in one of the public colleges. Biology study programs provide knowledge in the natural sciences, skills for the proper use of laboratory equipment, and improve English proficiency.

Education of a biologist in higher educational institutions abroad for foreign students provides students with studying for a scientific career and teaching. Biological problems are at the forefront of studying the problems of modern society, playing a central role in a global study of how people and the environment affect each other. Biology is a wide field, therefore biologists are suitable for work in various fields, including within the framework of their own unique research specialization. Graduates are well prepared for positions in industrial, research institutes, scientific laboratories.

Bachelors of biology often prefer to continue their studies at the magistracy, doctoral studies in biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, biophysics, cell biology, physiology. Many of them continue to work at universities as teachers, researchers. Undergraduate programs with the study of biology is an excellent preparation for admission to medical faculties, especially if the career plans of applicants include laboratory studies of viruses, infections that affect a person.

Areas of study at bachelor's, master's programs with the study of biology:

• Animal adaptation
• Behavioural Biology
• Biointeraction
• Environmental Protection, System Ecology
• Evolution, Biodiversity
• Marine biology
• Molecular ecology
• Molecular development and regulation of genes
• Adaptation of plants.

Programs include academic courses, internships, and the preparation of your own research.

The study of biology at academic programs abroad for foreign students is available at summer courses and certificate programs. High school students and school graduates choose summer courses to deepen academic knowledge in biology, and then enter universities. They provide participants with an understanding of university-level biological topics; courses are designed by experienced teachers from leading universities around the world. Lectures, excursions, class discussions, practical laboratory classes will allow participants to feel like members of the student community.

Bachelors can choose certificate programs for additional qualifications, highly specialized skills.
