A deep academic understanding of life on Earth is more crucial than ever. This four-year BSc Biology degree offers flexibility to explore diverse organisms, identifying threats and opportunities across scales. Local, residential, and international field courses enable study in varied habitats, including the Gower Peninsula's marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems.Excellent facilities support ecological, physiological, and molecular studies, featuring new labs, the Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research, a zoology museum, an 18-metre research vessel, and a visualisation suite for animal behaviour analysis. Final-year research projects may be field-, lab-, or analysis-based. Led by renowned academics like Professor Rory Wilson (National Geographic’s Great Migrations) and Dr Richard Unsworth (BBC’s Blue Planet II), the Royal Society of Biology-accredited course covers conservation, pest control, microbiology, and ocean-climate themes. Flexible paths include study abroad, industry placements, or research years, boosting employability through partnerships with Natural Resources Wales, The British Mammal Society, and The National Wetlands Centre Wales.
