Why stick with a single plan when you can explore an entire passion?

You’ll start with the fundamentals of biological sciences, and then take your course wherever you want; whether that’s environmental biology, biomedical science, biochemistry and microbiology, or physiology and pharmacology.

You’ll investigate, you’ll collaborate, and you’ll get hands on — in our labs, on field trips, and through your own industry placement.

In Year Three, you’ll be encouraged to take a year-long placement overseas, or in the UK. Recent students have secured placements with organisations such as the NHS, Archipelagos Institute of Marine Conservation (Greece) and AstraZeneca. You can also register for the Diploma in Professional Practice, which is a separate qualification you  can work towards while on your placement.
