Biology (with Placement Year) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Study the science of life – a varied and exciting discipline that takes you from the molecular to whole organisms and entire ecosystems.

Whether your interests lie in cell, molecular and laboratory biology; genetics, evolution and bioinformatics; plants, microbes and biotechnology; or whole organisms, environments, and field skills, on this course you’ll learn to evaluate aspects of all life on earth, including the ways it is under threat.

You’ll discover how a variety of living organisms evolve, their physiology, how they function within their environments – and how these environments can be sustained.
