Develop your appreciation of biology on this four-year course, which includes a year spent with an approved university in Germany. <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/>The language element of this course will see you explore the theory and practice of translation. This includes opportunities to analyse the history, politics, science and technology of German-speaking countries.<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, you’ll be taught by world leaders as you learn how to solve complex real-world problems.<br/><br/>Your third year will be spent at a German-speaking university, where you will attend lectures and conduct a research project as you experience a different cultural environment.<br/><br/>Your final year sees your studies culminate with an extensive research project. This work will enable you to progress your personal and professional identity as a life scientist.<br/><br/>Please note: **this course is not suitable for native or near-native German speakers.**<br/><br/>Normally only students who are on track for at least a 2:1 by the end of their second year, will be eligible to spend their third year abroad.<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.**<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.
