The course provides students with a broad, well-rounded view of biology from organismal, molecular, behavioural, ecological and evolutionary perspectives. Designed for those who enjoy a multidisciplinary approach to the subject, with appropriate opportunities for specialization, the course is intended for students who wish to follow career paths within and allied to the broad field of biology. The course structure consists of a series of compulsory and optional modules which form a logical, coherent progression through the three years of the degree.
All students also pursue a research topic which reflects their own interests.
With a balanced choice of modules, students are provided with a broad overview of biology. There is the opportunity to specialize within the degree, particularly in the final year, which gives a greater emphasis to individual students' personal interests in human biology, ecology and evolutionary biology. In addition to the standard entry requirements , applicants should offer previous study of biological sciences at GCE A level or equivalent.
