Biological Sciences (with Foundation Year)

Our Biological Sciences with Foundation Year course, starts with progressing your academic skills. Passing this foundation year leads to our Biological Sciences degree course, which offers you the flexibility to discover what kind of biologist you want to be. You'll have the freedom to choose the topics you want to study across the breadth of biology such as the environment, threatened species, plants, molecular biosciences, or span all areas.

We’ll support you in gaining the skills and confidence employers want. This starts with understanding scientific theories and how they are used in the real world and continues through your assessments that focus on communication skills including presentations, report writing and teamwork. You'll develop the practical skills used in research and commercial labs, including data handling and computing. Our labs are equipped with industry standard technology, including 3D electron microscopes.

We’re proud of our nurturing environment with good connections between staff and students. You’ll benefit from research-active tutors and small group sizes.
