Course detail & modules
Our Biological Sciences degree course will teach you the fundamentals of biology and provide you with plenty of opportunities to practice.
Your practice-based learning will include:
performing lab and field techniques and procedures
writing academic and industry-relevant reports
undertaking research based on your ideas as part of a team
presenting the outcomes of research at an end-of-year student conference
writing up research papers and proposals
an individual research project in the final year of the course.
If you so choose to specialise in one of our four pathways, your specialisation will be noted on your BSc (Honours) certificate.
Throughout your studies, you will be prepared to succeed in your chosen professional field, whether that is as an ecologist, a clinical scientist, a researcher, or a data analyst.
The course will also prepare you to pursue further studies towards a masters or a PhD.
