BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

CRITICAL-THINKING • PROBLEM-SOLVING • SCIENCE-SHAPING

We are serious about science, and we are proud to have contributed to some
important advances in the history of human and animal medicine, animal welfare,
disease control and evolution. As a small University, we can offer you the chance to
get unrivalled practical lab time to learn and develop your hands-on scientific skills.
Our world-renowned experts and exciting research opportunities will give you the
learning experience you need to take your knowledge to the highest level and to
help shape the future of science. You will have the chance to undertake a 6-week
research project in your second year, and a 12-week research project in your third
year, with plenty of one-to-one support with your tutors and course director.
To complete your research experience, choose an MSci course, which offers you the
unique opportunity of spending your entire final year on your own research project.

Our Biological Sciences courses follow a ‘pathway’ approach. This means
that in your first year, you study a broad range of modules providing you with
a fundamental understanding of biosciences. As you progress through your
course, additional study options become available to you, culminating in a final
year investigative project. You will be able to choose from a wide variety of
topics that are aligned to the research interests of the college’s academic staff.

All our BSc and MSci Biosciences courses are also offered with an
additional placement year after your second year of study.
