Studying biology and sciences through tertiary level and beyond requires perseverance and dedication.
For university and college students, this can mean working towards a bachelor’s degree, or carrying through into master’s or even doctorate levels. Others may take up higher education and studies while actively working in the field to further improve their knowledge and skillsets.
Our selection of science and biology textbooks is designed to support students undertaking higher education in these areas. From general textbooks to niche subjects, you can quickly and easily find what you’re looking for and have it delivered to your doorstep.
Higher education biology textbooks
Campbell Biology is a great general introduction to biology at a higher education level. It explores a range of foundational topics, including genetics, the cell, plant form and function, ecology, animal form and function, and more. This biology textbook is a common sight in university classrooms across Australia and New Zealand.
Other biology textbooks focus on a specific subject area in great depth. For example, Molecular Biology of the Cell has made a name for itself as the definitive text in cell biology. This titles goes into detail about basic principles, enduring concepts, and cutting-edge research in the field.
Higher education science textbooks
It wouldn’t be a discussion about higher education science textbooks without Halliday’s Fundamentals of Physics, a regular on university textbook lists for decades. This release includes local examples for Australian and New Zealand students, as well as thought-provoking problems, clear diagrams, and well explains physics lessons.
For agricultural students, Agrios’ Plant Pathology is a tried and trusted study guide. This book explains how to recognise, prevent, and treat a wide variety of plant diseases. It also includes case studies that explore genetics and modern management techniques for applicable real-world examples.
