BSc (Hons) Biology

This degree reflects the breadth of modern biological sciences, with core topics including genetics and genomics, microbiology, evolution, cell biology and biological diversity. We’ll help you build your degree around your interests, like molecular genomics, toxicology, applied ecology or other specialist topics. Fascinated by human biology? You can also take modules from biomedical sciences. Or if you’re interested in all areas of biology you can take a broad range of options – the choice is yours. You'll get plenty of hands-on training in the lab and field and you'll work on mini-projects throughout your course. You can also take one of our residential field course options, including overseas trips to Brazil or Mallorca, where you’ll learn essential skills for ecological careers, or opt to spend a year studying abroad at one of our partner universities. Gain new skills, build international contacts, and immerse yourself in a different culture and environment. Other facilities include super-computing power for genomic analysis, our 33,000 litre tropical aquarium, and a dedicated team of teaching technicians to support your skill development.
