On our Biology degree, we engage with the subject at every level, from the molecular level through whole organisms and beyond to their relationships with each other and the wider environment. So whether you fall in love with the subject at the biochemical level or whether your passion is about whole organisms and how they interact, BSc Biology is for you and can lead to a huge range of career possibilities when you graduate.At Worcester you will benefit from small class sizes and easy access to the lecturing staff in the course team, helping you to study in a friendly and productive learning environment.
