Congratulations to all the students for their amazing achievement!
There were 320 students from more than 80 countries who participated in this year’s IBO. The UK team were selected from over 13,000 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, ecology, microbiology and physiology.
They also took part in a social programme that included a tour of Al Ain and a tour of Dubai.
