📖Program Curriculum

Training is provided in laboratory and field skills across the entire scope of biology from cell biology through physiology to ecology.

During Semesters 1-4 you’ll take core modules in Cell Biology Physiology Genetics and Evolution Ecology and Biodiversity. You’ll learn practical skills in Natural Sciences and Quantitative Techniques and do a field course for ecology and identification skills. Additionally you can select from modules offered in Ecosystem Environmental and Aquatic Sciences.

During Semesters 5 – 6 you’ll take a core module in Plant Ecology and Physiology and you’ll also take five modules from a range of options in animal and human biology.

In Semesters 7-8 our range of specialist half-modules allows you to specialise in an area of biology that particularly interests you. You’ll undertake an independent research project and study between four or six advanced modules from a range of options. Final-year projects are a challenging yet valuable part of our degrees. In recent years students on the Biology course have completed projects within the broad disciplines of Animal Behaviour Plant Physiology and Ecology Animal Ecology Molecular Cell Biology Parasitology Molecular and Population Genetics. Projects are supervised by our staff but may also be carried out in conjunction with an external organisation.
