Biological Sciences
Biology is the study of the natural world around us, everything from how large ecosystems function right through to how the enzymes and proteins in your body interact.
Our Biological Sciences degree aims to produce biologists with a range of training and experience across a broad area of biology. With our integrated approach you are taught the major themes of biology by examining the common features and differences in the biochemistry, genetics, physiology, ecology and behaviour of micro-organisms, plants and animals.
After the first year of solid grounding in biology, mathematics and physical sciences you'll move on to animal and plant diversity, microbiology, ecology, genetics, biochemistry and evolutionary biology.
Of course around this core knowledge you'll be able to specialise as you discover those areas that really fascinate you.
With the potential for double or even triple majors you'll find this degree the perfect launching pad for a career in everything from Molecular Biology right through to Conservation and Wildlife Biology; in other words, everything from new medical treatments to saving the whale sharks.
