Biology Personal Statement

I have been inspired to pursue biology as a subject since my time at high school. During my GCSE stages of high school, I became fascinated by animal behaviour, ecology and evolution of different species and different organisms. Developing on from this, my current studies in applied science has enabled me to enjoy participating in practicals, working in a group, and working as an individual, having the opportunity to widen my experiences in practical sciences. I have particularly enjoyed scientific procedures and techniques and science investigation skills. I have learnt many transferable skills during my BTEC Applied Science lessons, such as presentational skills, and IT skills. In addition, critical thinking and problem solving have also
Anticipating ahead, I look forward to starting my biology degree in my first year, as I will look further into biology and society. In particular, I am excited to learn more about molecules and ecosystems. I am interested by how molecular processes, which cause information in the DNA and how this then leads to the variation of the phenotype. Another area I am interested in is the biology of health and disease and the evolution and diversity of human life. After I gain my Biology degree, I would like to obtain a teaching qualification, and help students who may not have confidence in themselves. In my free time I enjoy playing Golf with the Lancashire Ladies Golf Association, being with friends and family and working at a high retail store. I have completed the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award, where I learnt about navigation skills and teamwork skills. I also enjoy watching educational videos about scientific advances and discoveries; a personal favourite of mine is the new advances in maternity, and implantation of embryos to help women who cannot have children, have the opportunity. I also keep up to date with the website "Science
