Course programme

This three-year degree programme enables you to begin studying in the first year without committing yourself to any particular specialisation. During the second and final years of study you can tailor your studies according to any areas of interest or your chosen specialism, alongside completing a substantial independent final year research project.

First year

The first year of the degree programme is designed to give you a thorough introduction to biological sciences, alongside other core elements relating to the study science and mathematics. You will also begin to develop the key scientific skills necessary for your further research projects.

Second Year

The second year allows you to develop your interests in specialist biological subjects, with a range of optional modules from Behavioural Ecology to Plant Biology. There is also a free choice module that allows you to choose a topic from the entire course catalogue, subject to the approval of the desired school of study.

Third Year (Study abroad)

After maintaining a good standard of academic performance during your first two years, you will spend your third year studying at one of university exchange partners in Australasia, North America or Europe. We take into account your field of interest and placement preferences, and do our best to place you at the university of your choice. See the “Year Abroad” tab for more details.

Final year

In your final year of study you have an even greater range of modules to choose from, focusing on specific biological issues ranging from molecular plant-microbe interactions to cancer biology. You will also study more substantial modules such as Data Analysis, alongside undertaking a substantial independent research project.
