The Faculty has a newly-launched Graduate Research School. Fiona is one of the group studying pest management and the ecology of beneficial insects. All teaching is based on modules that are shared between degrees and many modules are taught by staff from other Departments or other Faculties. This system means that all teaching is by staff with specialist knowledge and skills. It also gives the maximum flexibility and choice to the student.
Some degree courses have options - effectively different specialized streams within the degree.
Most degrees include a final year research project - a chance to work in the lab or field with a member of staff who is at the forefront of research. Our teaching facilities include the usual lecture theatres and general laboratories but students also use controlled environments, computer clusters, workshops and our two field stations . Entry requirements vary between programmes but all accept a range of qualifications in addition to UK A-levels. We welcome applications from mature students. September, and the start of a new year.
