What it isA three-year Biology degree focuses on living organisms, cells, genetics, ecology, and how life systems work. This shorter format lets you finish faster than a four-year program while covering core biology topics. It suits students who want solid grounding in biological sciences without the extended timeline of an honours degree.A Bachelor of Arts is a three-year undergraduate degree where you study humanities and social sciences rather than sciences or professional fields. You choose a major from subjects like English, history, philosophy, or geography, and take electives across the range offered. It suits students who want broad knowledge in how people, societies, and ideas work, without committing to a specific career path at the start.
