Biological Sciences

This programme allows you to pursue your own areas of specific interest and to have an appreciation of the full range of the subject. The Master of Biological Sciences (MBiol) is a four-year programme, in which students first follow the three-year BSc in Biological Sciences and then continue into a fourth year, subject to performance. In the first three years, you’ll study a broad range of modules including topics spanning the breadth of biology, from human disease, molecular diagnostics and therapeutics to animal behaviour, conservation biology, ecology and animal physiology with the opportunity to specialise and carry out your own research project. The fourth (Master’s) year aims at developing enhanced research and personal skills for students seeking a high-level career in research (e. g. studying for a PhD or working in industry) or those seeking to enhance their qualification. Students will join a research team to undertake a significant research project. Students can also apply for a six-week summer research internship in the UK or overseas or apply to spend time working in industry or in other enterprises in the final year.
