Biology with AI, BSc (Hons)

Our BSc (Hons) Biology with AI degree integrates the dynamic fields of biology and artificial intelligence, providing a robust foundation in core topics such as microbiology, molecular biology, biodiversity, and ecology. Students explore how AI addresses global challenges in health, sustainability, and conservation, developing practical skills in coding, computational thinking, and data analysis from the first year. Advanced studies cover machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI, with applications in biological research and practice, complemented by hands-on laboratory, fieldwork, and researcher-led projects.Graduates emerge with interdisciplinary expertise valued by employers, ready to tackle issues like biodiversity loss and antibiotic resistance. Strong industry partnerships, including with the NHS and RSPB, offer real-world project opportunities. Based in Manchester—a leader in UK AI readiness near four National Parks—students study in the innovative £115m Dalton building. Options for a four-year route include overseas study in Europe, North America, or Australia, or an industry placement, fostering global perspectives and future-focused skills.
