This course offers you the flexibility to discover what kind of biologist you want to be. You will have the freedom to choose the topics you want to study across the breadth of biology whether your interests lie in the environment, animal behaviour, plants, molecular biosciences, or span all areas.

We'll support you to gain the skills and confidence employers want. This starts with understanding scientific theories and how they are used in the real world and continues through your assessments that focus on communication skills including presentations, report writing and teamwork. You will develop the practical skills used in research and commercial labs, including data handling and computing. Our labs are equipped with industry standard technology, including 3D electron microscopes.

We’re proud of our nurturing environment with good connections between staff and students. You’ll benefit from research-active tutors and small group sizes.
