Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biological Sciences (Professional Training Placement)

On this course, students will investigate biological structure and function at various levels, from molecules to cells, through to whole organisms, communities and ecosystems.

In their first year, students will study topics that are fundamental to biosciences, ensuring you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of their degree.

During their second year, students will have the option to specialise in either animal biology and ecology, cellular and molecular sciences, or infection and immunity. Alternatively, students can choose from a variety of broader modules including analytical biochemistry, cellular microbiology and neuroscience.

In their third year, students will further their knowledge of their chosen specialism or broader study by exploring topics such as advanced pharmacology, genetics, and the impact of humans on the environment. Students will also complete a research project, bringing together all the practical, analytical, and presentation skills they've developed.
