Duration
4 Years
Biology is the science of life itself, exploring the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living organisms.
The MBio Biology degree at Lincoln covers a diverse range of subject areas while allowing students to develop their own specialisms. The course includes opportunities for overseas field work to study living organisms in their natural environments.
Students join a vibrant academic community in the School of Life Sciences and can benefit from research-focused teaching by academics. There is an emphasis on practical work, with students conducting their own projects alongside academics and practising researchers.
Students participate in two residential field trips in the UK, enabling them to study animals and plants in the wild. These trips are part of two core modules: ‘Ecology’ in the first year and ‘Conservation Biology’ in the second year. For UK based field trips the University will cover costs of transport, accommodation and meals at the field site.
There is also an overseas field trip available in the third year as part of the optional 'Overseas Field Course' module. Further details, including costs, can be found in the Features section.
