Biological Sciences is an exciting and rapidly developing field, combining knowledge, ideas, and techniques to expand our understanding of the human body and its interplay with the environment.
Our MSci Biological Sciences degree is designed to develop your understanding of the fundamental mechanisms underlying life and health in whole organisms.
During the Biological Sciences course, you will explore topics including genetics and molecular biology, biochemistry and metabolism, cell biology and regenerative medicine, human evolution, anatomy and physiology, growth, development, aging, and research methods.
You will also focus on developing practical laboratory skills and benefit from teaching in STEMLab, the University's £17 million state-of-the-art facility, as well as other specialist laboratories.
Optional year-long professional placement opportunities can help you develop essential skills and boost your employability. In contrast, international placements allow you to experience another country during your studies.
In the final year, our MSci Biological Sciences degree features a chance to complete a substantial research project in your chosen area of interest. The focus on developing your research skills makes the MSci particularly strong preparation for a career in research or for Ph.D. study.
