**94% of our research overall in Biological Sciences was assessed to be world leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021)** <br/><br/>**About the course**<br/><br/>How could we cure cancer? How can we end the despair of Alzheimer’s? How can we protect rare species from extinction, or prevent epidemics from spreading globally?<br/><br/>This course sets you up to understand new discoveries. You’ll develop critical thinking, scientific teamwork and technical communication skills, alongside a solid grounding in biology. You can choose to focus on areas such as cell and molecular biology, evolution and ecology, or neuroscience and behaviour.<br/><br/>From Year 1, you’ll get hands-on practical experience in laboratories and in the field. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the beautiful surroundings of the South Downs National Park. Further afield, we offer inspiring field trips with destinations such as:<br/><br/><br/>- Wales<br/><br/><br/>- Ecuador<br/><br/><br/>- Portugal<br/><br/><br/>- Southern Africa<br/><br/><br/>- the Red Sea.<br/><br/><br/>At Sussex, our research has real-world impact. You’ll learn from experts tackling some of society’s biggest issues – from research into cancer treatments to the declining bee population. In your third year, you could have the opportunity to join a lecturer’s research lab and carry out your own project. In the School of Life Sciences, you’ll be supported by a friendly scientific community.<br/><br/>When you graduate, you’ll have experience of conducting experiments, statistical data analysis, and drawing conclusions from scientific evidence. This – combined with your data-handling and analytical skills – means you’re prepared for a career inside and outside of science. Biology is a route to many careers, in fields including:<br/><br/><br/>- the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries<br/><br/><br/>- healthcare<br/><br/><br/>- sustainability<br/><br/><br/>- scientific writing and communication.<br/><br/><br/>**MSci or BSc?**<br/><br/>We also offer this course as a four-year MSci.<br/><br/>**About Sussex**<br/><br/>Sussex graduates change the world.
