Biology will allow you to develop the knowledge and skills to face some of the modern world’s biggest challenges. A combination of core and optional modules will allow you to develop your understanding of key topics such as cell biology and genetics and gain specialist knowledge in areas like behavioural ecology and animal development biology. You’ll also be able to combine practical lab work with classroom-based learning to develop a broad set of skills.
History and Philosophy of Science takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding what science is and its role in society. Using philosophical, historical and social perspectives you’ll explore the history of scientific thought, the links between magic, science and religion and the nature of scientific knowledge.

Course programme

A Joint Honours degree allows you to study the same core topics as students on each Single Honours course, but you’ll take fewer options and discovery modules so you can fit in both subjects. You’ll also undertake a major research project in either subject in your final year.

Biology

Core modules in your first year will develop your knowledge of key areas in biology, such as cell biology and genetics. You’ll also have a choice of optional modules, including further practical classes. From that foundation you’ll continue to choose from modules on topics such as animal behaviour, experimental design, plant science and bioinformatics over the next two years.

History and Philosophy of Science

In your first year core modules will introduce you to themes and approaches in history and philosophy of science, such as philosophy of science and the development of scientific thought. You’ll develop your knowledge in the following year by choosing optional modules in areas like epistemology and the history of ideas. You’ll continue to select optional modules in your final year, from realism and representation to philosophical questions in technology.
