Course Information

The biological sciences are a vast and endlessly fascinating area – this course provides an in-depth education in the molecular cellular and genetic activities of micro-organisms, plants and animals.

With an emphasis on the applied aspects of the subject area, the course integrates technical, practical, problem solving and career relevant aspects of the award. Technical competence is an important aspect of the award hence you will be provided with ample opportunity to undertake hands-on experiments and computer based exercises which not only underpin theory, but also provide technical training.
Integrated throughout the course at all levels are transferable skills which range from written and oral communication to career and time management, together with numeracy and scientific writing. These skills will assist your studies and are valued by employers.
The award is technically supported by a full range of analytical equipment for the analysis of biological materials and for the investigation of microorganisms, plants and animals.
This HND Course is designed to offer a broad understanding of the subject which with either provide you with opportunities to work at the technical level in the are of the biological sciences or will offer you the opportunity to progress to one of a number of specialist degree courses (depending on the modules chosen).

The emphasis throughout the course will be on the applied nature of the study of the biological sciences in terms of how fundamental knowledge can be applied to tangible vocational situations and problems, together with the acquisition of practical and generic skills.

The intention of this approach will be to prepare students for their chosen career in any of the varied career options made available.
 
To achieve this the award is structured to enable challenges to apply information effectively, to work in teams, to gain actual industrial experience, to learn from the experiences of professionals, to acquire technical competence and to develop generic and time management skills.

Career Opportunity

Career Opportunity

As a diplomate of HND Applied Biology you will have gained practical and theoretical experience of a core of biology, coupled with the ability to start to specialise in an area within biology, such as microbiology or biochemistry. As a result many diplomates use their biological science skills and knowledge to enter into employment with a range of organizations in both the public or private sectors. Thus, you could find yourself working for a range of companies in areas such as pharmaceutical development, water and waste treatment companies, biotechnology, diagnosis and bioplastics.

HND qualifications are widely recognised in the scientific establishment as vocational courses which prepare students for vocational employment. As such, the skills provided in the course will provide opportunities in the technical disciplines at technician level.

This two-year full-time course is designed to facilitate transfer between this and a range of biology-based degree courses at the end of both year 1 and the completion of this course.  You can transfer onto the following BSc honours courses:  BSc Biochemistry BSc Applied Biological Science, BSc Applied Microbiology, BSc Biotechnology and BSc Genetics and Molecular Biology.

 HND qualifications are widely recognised in the scientific establishment as vocational courses which prepare students for vocational employment. As such, the skills provided in the course will provide opportunities in the technical disciplines at technician level.

This course is designed to articulate and progress seamlessly to the appropriate BSc (Hons) degree.
