In Year 1, you’ll study modules that introduce you to the breadth of biology. You’ll cover exciting areas of current Biosciences, from molecules to cells, organisms and their environment. Skills for employment and ‘learning through research’ are core themes, together with the development of your professional scientific identity.
In your second year, you’ll gain a more in-depth knowledge of key biological principles and begin to focus on areas of applied biology.
We offer a broad range of topics covering both theoretical and practical aspects of biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, human biology and animal biology and conservation.
In Year 2 you’ll also have the option to choose one of the four pathways:
- Ecology and Environmental Management
- Genomics
- Pharmacology
- Pre-Med
These pathways each have a carefully designed programme of study via a specific range of modules that will ensure that you meet the requirements of employers and also prepare you for postgraduate study.
In Year 3, you’ll carry out an in-depth, applied practical investigation that will lead to a scientific article-style dissertation.
If you complete one of the pathways it will be added to your degree certificate.
