**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. <br/><br/>In our biological sciences course, you’ll benefit from exposure to our brilliant academics and cutting-edge research. We are 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 biological sciences degree. A defined first year ensures that you have a broad understanding and gives you a platform for further study. In the following years, a wealth of subject choice lets you explore the areas of biology that interest you most. <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. Your degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, confirming that it meets high standards in teaching and skills development. In the latest Graduate Outcomes Survey, 95% of our students were in work or further study. <br/><br/>**Disclaimer**<br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
