Course summary
Why study Biological Sciences with us?
The biological sciences are a rapidly advancing discipline that studies all aspects of life. Breakthroughs in the field transform individual lives and communities and help tackle global challenges. This course provides graduates with knowledge to contribute at all levels of biological organisation, from molecular to cellular, and from organism to ecosystem.
The course has a strong practical focus. Through authentic hands-on research in our state-of-the-art laboratories and using the advanced IT setup, you will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills and gain expertise in the handling of ‘big data’.
The course offers different exit awards. This allows you to specialise in either molecular or environmental biology, areas that are in clear need of specialists.
What will you learn?
This course gives you a solid foundation in the underlying principles of biology and develops your practical skills through laboratory-based experiments and problem-based learning. You will use industry-standard analysis facilities and technology, guided by research-active academics who will help you develop your final-year research project. Additionally, you will have opportunities to enhance your learning and field experience by joining field trips, as well as collaborating and contributing to research team activities through volunteering schemes.
How do we support your career development?
The Biological Sciences BSc Honours offers you diverse career opportunities depending on your chosen specialisation. You can find roles in biotech, genomics, pharmaceuticals, academic research, environmental consultancies, NGOs, and education. Some of you may pursue further studies.

You could secure positions at research institutions, charities like Cancer Research UK, public bodies such as National Rail, government organisations including DEFRA, and biotech firms like Novogene, demonstrating strong preparation for a broad range of life sciences careers.
