Concepts of Biology + Language for Specific Purpose


Biology is the study of life. Like all the sciences, biology has its own dynamics. Those dynamics have a variety from the smallest unit “atom” to the largest one “biosphere”. In this course we maintain the information hierarchically, so that you can understand easily and in a most effective way.

We also provide you activities and excercises to improve your vocational English skills. This course aims to prepare you for international cooperations with your colleagues all around the world.

Each participant will get a Certificate of Participation. Those who finish the course with a result of 70 points will be awareded a Certificate of Successful Completion of Exam.
