Duration
3 Years
Our biology and mathematics course is truly interdisciplinary. Advances in biological science have stimulated the development of new mathematics, leading to new ways of understanding our place in the universe. On this course, you’ll study topics at the cutting edge of biological discovery whilst exploring major branches of mathematics. Students on this course come to appreciate the coherence and logical structure of mathematics and its applicability in biological sciences.
This course allows you to study biology modules that reflect the complexity of the subject area, encompassing everything from molecules to populations of organisms. In mathematics, you’ll study key topics – from calculus and algebra, to probability and statistics. Your time will be divided roughly equally between modules from biology and mathematics. Your biology modules are taught by the Faculty of Biological Sciences, one of the leading life sciences faculties in the UK.

Course programme
In your first year, your studies in biology may include cell biology, genetics, biodiversity, applied biology or agriculture. In mathematics, you’ll be given a firm grounding in core topics such as calculus and mathematical analysis, differential equations and linear algebra. In addition, you can study one additional topic from human biology, practical biology, immunology or computational mathematics, or alternatively take an elective module.
In year 2, your mathematics modules will include vectors, statistics, and linear and nonlinear differential equations. In biology, you’ll study the biology of plant life, evolution of organisms, and genetics. Optional module topics at this stage include bioinformatics, environmental statistics, fluid dynamics, animal behaviour, and human population.
In year 3, you’ll undertake a research project in biology or mathematics. You’ll also study mathematical biology and take a combination of optional modules from a range of pure and applied mathematics topics and a variety of biological modules, on subjects including zoology, evolution, and food security.
