Biological Sciences MSci

Come and study at one of the largest Life Sciences departments in Europe. <br/><br/>Develop a deep understanding of Biological Sciences on this four-year course, where you will acquire the key scientific skills required for a range of research-informed graduate careers in the Life Sciences. <br/><br/>You will examine the behaviour of living systems from the level of molecules and cells up to whole organisms and ecosystems. Through this work, you will gain a detailed knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of life and explore the diversity, evolution, and relationships of the organisms on our planet. <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/>In Year 2, you will have the first chance to select from a series of optional modules, and you can further specialise in Year 3 in areas including ecology, immunology and infection, systems biology, microbiology, plant sciences, developmental biology and neuroscience. <br/><br/>Laboratory, computational and field work will help you develop the skills to design and carry out biological experiments and analyse the resulting data. <br/><br/>With access to the thriving research environment at Imperial, you will 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 a seven month research project, complemented by research skills training to develop your ability to critically engage with current research topics and methodologies.
