Bioscience - BSc (Hons)

Get ready for a rewarding career in the growing field of bioscience – by developing the scientific knowledge and skills top employers want.

This three-year course follows the same curriculum as the FdSC course, but adds a third year, during which you’ll complete a dissertation and can choose additional, specialist modules such as zoology, biomedicine, disease control and science teaching.

You’ll gain a detailed knowledge and understanding of key biological processes and principles, together with the technical and scientific skills you’ll need to acquire, interpret and analyse data in health or laboratory settings.

We’ll introduce you to the specific techniques and applications used in a broad range of sectors, including pathology, biomedicine, toxicology and forensics, as well as environmental settings such as pollution monitoring and control.

This will give you a strong set of work-based skills, including the ability to confidently select and apply various techniques to specific scientific requirements. You’ll also gain a good understanding of the Bioscience sector and how it operates.

Specifically you’ll be able to:

• Design, plan, safely conduct, record and report on investigations using primary or secondary data.
• Obtain, record, collate, evaluate and analyse data using appropriate techniques in the field and/or laboratory, working individually or in a team.
• Understand sample selection, along with how to record and analyse data.
