This means the course is ideal for anyone considering a career in biosciences, or as a foundation for further study at postgraduate level.<br/><br/>As a graduate, you’ll leave with subject-specific knowledge, practical laboratory skills, research skills and more, enabling you to make informed contributions to the understanding of what underpins life here on earth.
