Biology, the science of life, is a varied and exciting discipline from the molecular to whole organisms and entire ecosystems. Our broad-based course covers all life on earth, from microorganisms to plants, animals and humans, and from genes to whole ecosystems. Focus on practical skills, including a strong foundation in laboratory, data science, bioinformatic, and field skills. Tailor your degree to your ambitions and interests by choosing from a wide range of specialisms, all with a central underpinning of sustainability. Study in Cambridge, the centre of new and emerging technologies in the life sciences, especially in biological data science and bioinformatics, and take advantage of a wealth of local opportunities. Learn from Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) Gold standard, research-active staff, who keep course content fully up-to-date with recent findings across a whole range of fields. Carry out projects and paid internships with research-active staff from the School of Life Sciences and apply for placements with a range of employers.Biology is the study of life. Life on earth is fascinating, astonishing, diverse and beautiful, and the course aims to provide you with a broad knowledge of the wide variety of living organisms. Your knowledge will encompass how organisms evolve, their physiology, and how they function within the environment.However, all life is currently under threat with man-made (anthropogenic) change affecting the earth and all its systems. The biological sciences offer us a wide range of tools which can be used to alleviate these effects and preserve our natural environment, both for the benefit of plants, animals and humans, and for their current and future generations. This degree in Biology offers a multidisciplinary approach, preparing you to evaluate aspects of all life on earth, and provide solutions to ensure a sustainable future.
