Course Summary

Overview - Tailor your programme to your interests, potentially culminating in a named specialism. These include Animal Biology, Microbiology and Infectious Disease, and Molecular and Cellular Biology - Optional residential field courses in the UK and abroad - The opportunity to apply your skills in practical settings throughout your studies provides a variety of employment and further study opportunities after you graduate - Four-year programmes include a placement year working in an appropriate business or industry or a year studying at a partner institution overseas This is a flexible degree programme, giving you the option to design either a broad-based biology degree or a more focused degree specialising in areas of biology which interest you. You will have the opportunity to follow one of three specialisms – animal biology, microbiology and infectious disease or molecular and cellular biology – and graduate with your chosen specialism named as part of your degree title, eg, BSc Biological Sciences (Animal Biology). After a foundation first year, which covers the range of biology from molecules to ecosystems, you have complete freedom of module choice in your second and final years. Options range from forensic science to the ecology of environmental change; from mammalian biology to microbiology; from human molecular biology to a coral reef field course. Shape your degree as you wish by following one of the named specialisms, whilst keeping your biological choices broad.
