Course summary
- This degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB). Once you graduate, you'll receive one year's free membership, helping you to network and keep you up to date with developments in life sciences.- There are three different pathways to choose from: Human Biology, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Medical Biology.- You can choose to take a four-year sandwich degree, with a year's overseas study or an industrial placement to give you a career head start.- Our commitment to high quality teaching has been recognised with a Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) Gold rating. The University has received an overall rating of Gold, as well as securing a Gold award in the framework's two new student experience and student outcomes categories.
About the CourseBiological 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.You’ll graduate with the knowledge and practical skills you need to boost your employability, helping you stand out when seeking work. Practical studies will include a laboratory and/or field-based project, a data project or a systematic review. This might take place in a laboratory or an organisation outside the University.
Human Biology pathwayAre you fascinated by the human body and how it responds to exercise and disease? By choosing this pathway, you’ll study human biology through molecular biology and physiology and gain insights into global health.Example Human Biology modules:- Health and Exercise Physiology - Drugs, Brain and Behaviour - Research Methods and Concepts in Evolutionary Biology
Genetics and Molecular Biology pathwayGenomic technology offers an unparalleled understanding of life on earth. This pathway reflects the latest developments in genetics, molecular biology, bioinformatics and evolutionary biology.Example Genetics and Molecular Biology modules:- Research Methods and Concepts in Evolutionary Biology- Proteins and Metabolism- Molecular Genetics and Bioinformatics
Medical Biology pathwayDo you want to study at the forefront of developments in medicine, treatment, understanding disease, and improving public health? This pathway examines molecular biology, infectious disease biology, epidemiology and immunology, and cancer biology. Example Medical Biology modules- Pathobiology- Infection and Immunity- Research Methods and Concepts in Evolutionary Biology
