Biological sciences form the basis of many new areas of science and technology. They are the foundation of our understanding of a diverse range of subjects - from evolution, genetics and diversity to medicine, drug and human development.
On this course, you can choose to study human, medical or genetics and molecular biology.
Practical work includes a laboratory and/or field based project, a data project or a systematic review. Project work might be based in a laboratory or organisation outside the University. You'll gain the knowledge, techniques and skills you need to boost your employability, ready for when you graduate.

Please note that this is an indicative list of modules and is not intended as a definitive list as these could change before your year of entry.
Year 1: common to all streams
Year 1 is common to all streams of this biological sciences degree - human biology, medical biology, and genetics and molecular biology - as well as a number of other degrees. It has been designed to give you a thorough understanding of the core subjects within life sciences and provides a measure of flexibility between courses.
Year 2: stream-specific modules
In Year 2, you will follow the modules within your chosen specialism (Human Biology, Medical Biology or Genetics and Molecular Biology). You will develop your knowledge, techniques and practical skills, as well as additional transferable and employability skills. A course specific core module will integrate subject-specific knowledge and develop your skills in preparation for your final-year research project.
All students are encouraged to identify opportunities for work experience during the course, which may be through an optional sandwich year taken between Years 2 and 3. Alternate opportunities within the University may become available such as acting as a student ambassador.
Year 3: stream-specific modules
In Year 3, you will examine more advanced and applied aspects within your subject area. You will also undertake an independent project - this provides an opportunity to research a topic of your choice within your specialism as either a laboratory-based project or a library-based dissertation.
