Course summary
Come and study at one of the largest Life Sciences departments in Europe. Develop a deep understanding of Biological Sciences on this four-year course, where you will acquire the key scientific skills required for a range of research-informed graduate careers in the Life Sciences. You will examine the behaviour of living systems from the level of molecules and cells up to whole organisms and ecosystems. Through this work, you will gain a detailed knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of life and explore the diversity, evolution, and relationships of the organisms on our planet. Your studies will be complemented by a dedicated Life Science skills programme. This provides training in quantitative skills, programming, statistics, and scientific writing and presentation. In Year 2, you will have the first chance to select from a series of optional modules, and you can further specialise in Year 3 in areas including ecology, immunology and infection, systems biology, microbiology, plant sciences, developmental biology and neuroscience. Laboratory, computational and field work will help you develop the skills to design and carry out biological experiments and analyse the resulting data. With access to the thriving research environment at Imperial, you will be taught by world leaders as you learn how to solve complex real-world problems. Your studies culminate in the final year with a seven month research project, complemented by research skills training to develop your ability to critically engage with current research topics and methodologies.
