Biological Science - BSc (Hons)

Biology is the study of life. Taught in our state-of-the-art Science Centre, you'll learn that life processes result from a series of complex interactions at a molecular, cellular and whole organism level. You'll develop hands-on skills that employers look for, as well as a detailed understanding of everything from biological systems at molecular level to ecosystems.

Biological Science graduates go on to careers in the areas of biomedical science, education, genetics and bioinformatics.

As a biological science graduate your acquired research and analytical skills, problem-solving and organisational skills allow for entry to many other possible careers utilising these transferable skills. These include accountancy, science journalism, marketing and teaching.

This course provides an entry point into graduate studies at MSc or PhD level, either studying at London Met or at other educational establishments or research institutes.
