Course summary

Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, our course aims to inspire you through the study of animals (including humans), plants and microbes. Study topics in genetics, cell biology, physiology, evolution, and conservation. Learn how to apply this knowledge to detect and treat diseases, protect endangered species, or create transformative biotechnology.

A range of optional modules taught by leaders in their field will allow you to tailor the course to your interests and career plans. It is also possible to switch to an integrated four-year master's course (MSci), depending on your grades in the second year. 

Practical work:

You will gain experience in a range of laboratory and field work techniques from your first semester. You will develop key skills in purpose-built teaching laboratories, with practical activities such as:

Neuroscience: how neurotransmitters interact with muscle cells
Immunology: immune cells and phagocytosis
Development: gene expression and mutation

Optional field trips to local nature reserves and international field centres

In year three you will do a year-long research project guided by a member of academic staff, where we will train you in transferable and advanced research skills.

Careers overview:

You will graduate with a sound understanding of the biology of animals, plants and microbes and the biochemical, evolutionary and genetic processes that underlie their biology. Your final year project will have given you the freedom to pursue a specific research area of interest. The combined knowledge and skills gained from all years of your undergrad degree will prepare you for either further study or a career in many varied industries including:

Biomedical
Conservation
Bioinformatics and Data Analysis
Agriculture and Forestry
Pharmaceuticals
Healthcare
Graduate Veterinary and Medicine Programmes
Civil Service
Scientific Governmental Agencies
Teaching
University Research
Journalism and Science Communications
