Students from more than 60 countries participated in this year’s IBO. The UK team were selected from over 10,000 students who took part in the British Biology Olympiad in March.
The team sat practical and theoretical examinations at the international competition, which covered topics in biochemistry, botany, microbiology and physiology.
They also took part in a social programme that included visits to the Monastery of Geghard, the Erebuni Museum and Vernissage Market.
