Biology, BSc (Hons), with study abroad

Discover the science of life through a diverse array of modules spanning molecular to ecological levels, embodying the interdisciplinary essence of contemporary biology. Guided by world-renowned academics, you'll acquire essential skills to address planetary challenges, such as advancing disease treatments, uncovering scientific principles, and conserving endangered species.Hands-on experiences extend beyond cutting-edge laboratories to include field trips, like excursions to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Bowland Fells, or residential visits to Doñana National Park in Spain and the Rift Valley in Kenya, examining the interplay between conservation and human activity. The first year provides a comprehensive introduction to biology fundamentals, including genetics, cell biology, ecology, and conservation, linked to global issues like biodiversity and health. In your third year, study at an overseas partner university to enhance your international perspective, followed by a final year at Lancaster where you select specialized modules and undertake a dissertation, potentially involving lab or field research. While Lancaster University strives to facilitate study abroad, availability is not guaranteed, and the institution bears no financial responsibility for such placements.
