Biology, MSc (UG)

Discover the science of life through a diverse array of modules, allowing you to select topics that captivate your interest while examining their environmental interactions. Engage in Master's-level modules, a research project, and hands-on field trips to Spain, Kenya, or Scotland, all guided by internationally acclaimed academics. Develop essential skills to address global challenges, such as advancing disease treatments, protecting endangered species, and exploring scientific principles.Practical experiences extend beyond our advanced laboratories to include exciting field excursions, like visits to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Bowland Fells, Doñana National Park in Spain, or the Rift Valley in Kenya, where you'll assess the interplay between conservation and human activity. The first year provides a comprehensive introduction to biology fundamentals, from genetics to ecology. Subsequent years offer specialization, culminating in a dissertation and an extended final-year project, preparing you for research-oriented careers.
