Biological Sciences BSc

You will have the opportunity to choose a specialist degree route: Biodiversity and Conservation, Genetics, Human Genetics, Cell Biology, or Zoology.
Our research-led teaching takes advantage of our links with London-based organisations including the Natural History Museum, ZSL London Zoo, the UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing and the UCL Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research.
You will have the benefit of our excellent facilities, including our field station at Blakeney Point in Norfolk, our on-site museum, the Grant Museum of Zoology and the newly refurbished UCL Cruciform Hub.
Our Summer Studentship scheme allows second-year students to experience original research in the laboratory or the field.

Biological Sciences can lead to a wide range of careers. There is key skills training embedded in our degrees (e.g., in statistics, computing and in giving presentations), which helps make you attractive to employers.
Many of our graduates choose to undertake further studies, aiming for a research career in a university or in industry. As well as careers in scientific fields, such as in the health service, conservation or the pharmaceutical industry, our graduates have also pursued further training or employment in management, teaching, accounting, the civil service and law.

English Language and Mathematics at grade B or 6. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.
