Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biology with Psychology (C1C8)

Lancaster University’s biology with psychology degree explores the biological processes which underpin human behaviour. It has been designed for those wishing to develop an understanding of the influences that govern human behaviour, underpinned by knowledge of the biology of the system.

Students will gain a core knowledge of biology and psychology and can choose optional modules according to their interests and career aspirations. The core modules on the degree principally focus on understanding the biology that underpins human behaviour and aim to provide the opportunity to understand psychology in greater depth. Students will be encouraged to link their study of biology to a progressive understanding of developmental, physiological and cognitive psychology.

During the degree, students will conduct an independent research project and benefit from the research experience of the university's internationally renowned academics. Students will also receive training in the key techniques associated with modern biosciences. The facilities for studying biology at Lancaster University are excellent - the university has invested over 4 million in new life science teaching laboratories.

The BSc Biology with Psychology is taught jointly by biology academics and the Department of Psychology. Lancaster University is ranked fourth for biosciences and sixth for psychology in The Guardian University Guide 2020, and fifth in the UK for biological sciences and tenth for psychology in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019.
