BSc Biological Sciences with a Foundation Year
-
A university large enough to give industry leading education and small enough to warmly take care of students.
← | →
-
They provided me not only with a good quality and increasingly well regarded degree, but also excellent support towards career development. The social aspect of student life, both at the university and in Norwich city, are pretty enjoyable.

I've learnt so much during my time here and gained practical laboratory skills. The campus is nice and it is a very welcoming environment.
