Course Summary

Our BSc Cell Biology with a Modern Language course will enable you to develop your language skills while learning about how our cells do what they need to do, from the molecular level through whole cells to tissues and organs. You will study aspects of biological sciences such as biochemistry and molecular biology to explore the structure and function of cells. You will also consider how cell diversity arises and how cells co-operate and communicate with each other in normal tissues and in developing embryos. We offer French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin for the language component of the course, which includes a year abroad on a research placement. Our course has Advanced Accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology , which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.
