The new IT lab will enable you to develop your computer skills. Exeter is excellently placed for a wide range of natural habitats that we use extensively in the ecologically-based modules. The exchange allows up to four students per year to spend the first semester of their second year at CCU, thereby gaining 60 of the 120 credits that make up the level two programme. The second semester is spent back at Exeter where the other 60 credits are gained. At CCU our students benefit from the special strengths in marine and wetland ecology, including the opportunity to work at the university s coastal island field station.
Class sizes are small and each student receives individual attention.
Applications to participate in the student exchange programme are made in the second semester of the first year. Students are selected on the basis of a personal statement and their course work record. Other exchange programmes, including a four-year degree with a full year in the USA, are under consideration. Aims of the Degree Programmes Biology has been studied as an academic subject for a very long time it is, however, a subject that has changed and modified itself dramatically in recent years. A rather superficial natural history approach which only scratches the surface of the science is no longer adequate to deal with the broad and multi-faceted discipline which biology has become in the modern world.
