From genes to behaviour and evolution to ecology, studying Biology at Leeds will provide you with a holistic understanding of the whole topic. Personalise your degree to match your needs as you progress, with options to pursue human biology, conservation, genetic engineering or any one of the other study areas the University of Leeds has to offer.
Biology has vital applications in current key global challenges. An ever-growing world population jeopardises the environment, while pressures on resources threaten endangered species and agricultural production. With your degree, you’ll be at the forefront of providing sustainable solutions.
Be part of the revolution in genomics, gene modification and biotechnology currently transforming the world. Equipped with the skills and knowledge of the fundamental biological processes, understand and drive forward science-based solutions to some of the world’s biggest issues.
This 3-year BSc can also be converted into an integrated Masters (MBiol) with an optional additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.
Course highlights

Build practical experience undertaking modules including practical genetics, parasitology and field course options.
Our year in industry programme allows you to gain experience working with organisations, developing new skills for your CV.
