Biological Sciences Msci (Hon)

The Biological Sciences with Professional Placement MSci course offers the opportunity to combine an academic degree course with a full year of professional training in a setting outside the University.<br/><br/>This flexible Biological Sciences with Professional Placement degree programme combines academic education with professional training in a non­-University setting. The modular course programme allows you to explore the full spectrum of biology, from ecosystems and organisms to molecular biology, keeping either a broad perspective or focussing on a narrowly defined area.<br/><br/>Students on the MSci Professional Placement course cannot be awarded one of the 3-­year specialist degree titles (Genetics, Zoology). Nevertheless there are no restrictions on your ability to choose modules of these areas.<br/><br/>The placement extends over 10-11 months, intercalated between the second and final year. The project you will pursue during your placement allows you to apply your skills at an early stage in industry, non-governmental or public sector organisations.<br/><br/>Over the past few years our students have worked for the following organisations and companies:<br/><br/><br/>- Sanger Institute<br/><br/><br/>- Astra Zeneca<br/><br/><br/>- GlaxoSmithKline<br/><br/><br/>- Pfizer<br/><br/><br/>- Centre for Population Biology<br/><br/><br/>- Cambridge Antibody Technology<br/><br/><br/>- Forsite Technology<br/><br/><br/>- The Field Studies Council<br/><br/><br/>- Medimmune<br/><br/><br/>- National Sealife Birmingham<br/><br/><br/>- The Binding Site<br/><br/><br/>- Basilea (Switzerland)<br/><br/><br/>- Celltech<br/><br/><br/>- Florida State University<br/><br/><br/>- Kew Gardens<br/><br/><br/>- University of Melbourne<br/><br/><br/>- Archipelagos<br/><br/><br/>- Mars Petcare<br/><br/><br/>- Harper Adams University<br/>
