Biology, BSc (Hons)

Our Biology course offers a flexible, broad-based degree encompassing biomedicine, biotechnology, genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology. It suits those seeking an interdisciplinary perspective or the option to specialise later, with ample choices to customise the programme according to evolving interests. The curriculum spans from molecular chemistry to environmental impacts on species populations, reflecting an exciting field driven by innovations like personalised medicines and rapid genome sequencing.Advancements in biosciences, including cancer research, climate change predictions, and biotechnological applications for fuel, food, and medicines, make this subject highly relevant today. Students can enhance their experience with a year in industry or abroad. The Department of Biology provides access to modern teaching laboratories and advanced computing facilities for hands-on practicals and group projects.
