**Overview**<br/>Study life itself, from its very origins and the early stages of evolution to the minutiae of molecular, cellular, and organismal processes. Study growth and development, investigate the complex entanglements of ecosystems, and learn about health and disease. Discover how biology can be applied to major global challenges, including disease, food security, and climate change. Our four-year integrated Master’s programme spans the entire scale of biological systems, from molecules to ecosystems. <br/><br/>In our biological sciences degree, you’ll benefit from exposure to our brilliant academics and cutting-edge research. Were part of the Norwich Research Park (NRP), and academics from the hospital and four world-renowned NRP research institutes will teach on your course. <br/><br/>Flexibility and choice are key features of your degree. A defined first year ensures that you have a broad understanding and gives you a platform for further study. In years two and three, a wealth of subject choice lets you explore the areas of biology that interest you most. In year four you’ll experience first-hand what its like to be a researcher, joining the laboratory of one of our experts to undertake a substantial independent project. This experience will serve you well if you hope to pursue a career in research, and will allow you to discover answers to the scientific questions that interest you. <br/><br/>UEA offers excellent facilities, including fantastic new teaching laboratories. We have brand-new, state-of-the-art research labs and our beautiful campus is home to diverse organisms that you’ll have the opportunity to study. <br/><br/>Your degree will lay the foundations for a career in research, but you’ll also develop transferable skills that will prepare you for a career outside of biology, such as science communication and data analysis. <br/><br/>**Disclaimer**<br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
