The School of Biological Sciences at UEA has an excellent reputation, with strengths in many areas of modern biology. This excellence is strongly featured in our varied teaching programme which extends across the broad discipline of Biology. Courses are flexible and programmes of study may be broad or highly specialised. For those taking Scottish Highers we prefer biology and chemistry at CSYS level. Applicants with alternative qualifications such as BTEC or Baccalaureate are welcome, as are mature applicants without the usual entry requirements.
Assessment is through a combination of coursework and formal examinations.
To continue into the second year you must pass the first-year assessment. The class of degree awarded depends on your performance in the second and third years. For a general explanation of learning at UEA see Learning at UEA . We also have graduates who have become deep sea divers, farmers in Australia, and booksellers in Moscow. The concepts and methods of molecular biology are applied to biomedicine, plant pathology, protein chemistry and environmental management.
