    Biological Sciences BSc (Hons)

    About

    Biological sciences form the basis of many new areas of science and technology. They are the foundation of our understanding of a diverse range of subjects – from evolution, genetics and diversity to medicine, drug and human development.

    On this course, you can choose to study medical biology or genetics and molecular biology.

    Practical work includes a laboratory and/or field-based project, a data project or a systematic review. Project work might be based in a laboratory or organisation outside the University. You'll gain the knowledge, techniques and skills you need to boost your employability, ready for when you graduate.

    We have updated our modules to enhance student-centred teaching and align course content with industry needs, helping you become a future-proof graduate.
