Leading to:- Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Biology with Study Abroad

Whether you're passionate about environmental conservation, medical advancements, or biotechnology, studying our Biology BSc (Study Abroad) will help you play a crucial role in shaping a better future.

Explore how a biology degree can empower you to make a difference in the world….

Play a role in tackling the world’s greatest challenges:

• How do we feed a growing population?
• How can we fight some of the world’s most deadly or chronic diseases?
• How do we prevent greater environmental damage to our seas, air, animal and plant species?

These are the types of major global challenges that a degree in biology will prepare you to play your part in addressing.

By studying this Biology BSc (Study Abroad), you will gain an understanding of life in all its forms: from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems; from cell division to reproduction, development and death; from fruit flies to fungi.

There are few limits to where this knowledge and understanding can take you. Indeed, there are biologists working in almost every scientific field imaginable – whether that’s exploring how our genome can affect our risk of cancer or exploring ways to make global ecosystems more resilient.

Biology is an interdisciplinary subject. Our academics have carefully designed this programme to start by providing you with a broad grounding in the range of fundamental themes that lie at its heart.

With this foundation, you can go on to explore the aspects of biology that interest you most in greater depth. It’s this ability to shape your studies to suit your passions that makes biology the most flexible of our biosciences degrees.

Taught by internationally renowned academics, you will get a truly hands-on degree. As well as lectures and tutorials, you will learn in our excellent lab facilities and, depending on your choice of modules, through exciting field trips.

This research-led biology degree is an ideal basis for a host of careers across the life sciences, ecology or conservation sectors, offering you the scientific knowledge, practical lab skills and career-ready mindset to succeed.

By studying abroad in your third year, you will have an opportunity to explore new and different perspectives on your course, while gaining experience of what it is like to live and study in a different country. During your year abroad you are only required to pay 15 per cent of the standard tuition fees.

And, because you will build your skills and competence in experimental design, data recording, analysis and presentation, effective project management, teamwork and communication, you will have highly-transferable skills valued by employers both within the sciences and in broader fields such as marketing, finance and management.
