Biological Sciences, BSc (Hons)

Our flexible three-year BSc Biological Sciences degree allows you to tailor your studies to your interests and career goals, starting with a broad foundation before specializing in areas such as biodiversity and conservation, plant or animal anatomy and biochemistry, or the molecular basis of human health. At Sheffield, you will develop creativity, independent thinking, and practical skills through lab work, Peak District fieldwork, gene network modeling, or collaborations with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on cancer diagnosis. These experiences build transferable skills like project management, problem-solving, communication, and data analysis, preparing you for a third-year research project in lab, field, modeling, or science communication.Enhance your degree with an integrated MBiolSci for extra research or a placement year with top employers.
