The University has received an overall rating of Gold, as well as securing a Gold award in the frameworks two new student experience and student outcomes categories. <br/><br/><br/>**About the Course**<br/><br/>Biological sciences form the basis of many new areas of science and technology. They are the foundation of our understanding of a diverse range of subjects – from evolution, genetics and diversity to medicine, drug and human development.<br/><br/>On this course, you can choose to study human, medical or genetics and molecular biology.<br/><br/>You’ll graduate with the knowledge and practical skills you need to boost your employability, helping you stand out when seeking work. Practical studies will include a laboratory and/or field-based project, a data project or a systematic review. This might take place in a laboratory or an organisation outside the University.<br/><br/>**Human Biology pathway**<br/>Are you fascinated by the human body and how it responds to exercise and disease? By choosing this pathway, you’ll study human biology through molecular biology and physiology and gain insights into global health.<br/>Example Human Biology modules:<br/>- Health and Exercise Physiology <br/><br/><br/>- Drugs, Brain and Behaviour <br/><br/><br/>- Research Methods and Concepts in Evolutionary Biology<br/><br/><br/>**Genetics and Molecular Biology pathway**<br/>Genomic technology offers an unparalleled understanding of life on earth. This pathway reflects the latest developments in genetics, molecular biology, bioinformatics and evolutionary biology.<br/>Example Genetics and Molecular Biology modules:<br/>- Research Methods and Concepts in Evolutionary Biology<br/><br/><br/>- Proteins and Metabolism<br/><br/><br/>- Molecular Genetics and Bioinformatics<br/><br/><br/>**Medical Biology pathway**<br/>Do you want to study at the forefront of developments in medicine, treatment, understanding disease, and improving public health? This pathway examines molecular biology, infectious disease biology, epidemiology and immunology, and cancer biology. <br/>Example Medical Biology modules<br/>- Pathobiology<br/><br/><br/>- Infection and Immunity<br/><br/><br/>- Research Methods and Concepts in Evolutionary Biology<br/>
