Develop your appreciation of biology on this three-year course, where youll build the key scientific skills required for ongoing research or a career in the life sciences.<br/><br/>Youll examine the behaviour of living systems from the level of cells up to whole organisms and ecosystems. Through this work, youll gain a detailed knowledge of the relationships, evolution, and key features of various organisms as you explore the diversity of life on earth.<br/><br/>Your studies will be complemented by a dedicated Life Science Skills programme. This provides training in quantitative skills, programming, statistics, and scientific writing and presentation.<br/><br/>The second year offers you the chance to specialise across a series of optional modules, in areas including ecology, molecular biology and stem cells.<br/><br/>Laboratory, computational and field work will help you acquire the skills to design, carry out and analyse data from biological experiments.<br/><br/>With access to the thriving research environment at Imperial, youll be taught by world leaders as you learn how to solve complex real-world problems.<br/><br/>Your studies culminate in the final year with an extensive research project. This work will enable you to progress your personal and professional identity as a life scientist.<br/><br/>The structure of the Departments courses means that transfer between different Biological Sciences degrees is usually possible up until the end of the first year. If you are an international student, transferring to a different course could have an impact on your visa, but our International Student Support Team are here to help advise and support you. <br/><br/>**As well as your main Imperial degree, you will also receive the award of the Associateship of the Royal College of Science (ARCS) on completion of this course.**
