Course summary

This degree allows you to undertake a major research project in a specialised subject within the UCL Division of Biosciences. To cater for the diversity of topics available, the degree is split into twelve subject streams, each with a dedicated tutor. The programme can act as a gateway into further research in academia or industry. Students gain knowledge of their chosen specialism through the major research project, alongside basic skills for planning research and the written, oral and visual communication of science. The acquisition and critical analysis of primary scientific literature are essential, as is experiencing the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of bioscience research. The programme is designed for students who wish to increase their research experience or evaluate their suitability for research at this level before committing to a PhD.
