Why You Should Study This Course

Bioscience is a broad and fascinating subject area covering plant and animal physiology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, diseases, ecology, and genetics.

Over three years you will develop the skills to collect and analyze scientific data independently as you research topics of your own choice, often with specific employment goals in mind.

Our BSc Bioscience degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting in part the academic and experience requirement for the Membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol).

Due to its integrated and highly interdisciplinary nature, a degree in Biosciences opens up a very broad range of career pathways for you that could include anything from the biotechnology sector to environmental management. Alternatively, you may choose to continue on to postgraduate study through to Ph.D.
