Biological Sciences, BSc (Hons)

Our Biological Sciences degree offers exceptional flexibility, allowing students to select modules across a broad spectrum of biological disciplines, including animal and plant biology, microbiology, genetics, ecology, neuroscience, and more. This enables tailoring the programme to emerging interests, with options to focus on specific areas like organisms and environments or maintain a wider scope. Students may undertake field courses in the UK or overseas and have the flexibility to switch to specialised degrees, such as BSc in Genetics or Zoology, or even to a four-year MBiol integrated Master’s, based on module choices and academic progress.The programme integrates scientific knowledge with essential skills in critical analysis, data evaluation, and practical applications, preparing graduates for diverse careers in research, environmental consulting, healthcare, teaching, or beyond, including non-biological fields like banking. Many pursue advanced degrees. Distinctively, the course is embedded in active research environments, with access to cutting-edge facilities, external funding, and opportunities like the School’s Borneo Field Station, fostering interdisciplinary exploration and student-driven learning.
