Course summary

Gain a deeper understanding of living systems and investigate the technologies, medicines, and research which will shape their future.

Formerly named 'Biology', this course offers a broad and deep understanding of the scientific study of living things and explores important and rapidly advancing topics in modern science, like biotechnology, biomedicine, and environmental technology.

You can also opt for a specialist pathway of study - meaning you can choose to continue with your broad degree or specialise in biotechnology or neurobiology.

Whichever pathway you choose, there’ll be opportunities for practical work and the chance to apply your knowledge in real-world situations, which can include a sandwich year work placement, study abroad option or work-related training in industry. This means the course is ideal for anyone considering a career in biosciences, or as a basis for further study at postgraduate level.
