BSc (Hons) Biology and Computer Science

Choosing our combined honours in Biology and Computer Science will allow you to develop skills and experience in two engaging and exciting subjects.

Most of society's global challenges are connected to biology - from assessing the effect of medication on the human body to exploring methods to prevent species extinction. Today's modern society is based on the work of geologists - in the hunt for natural resources for energy and materials for contemporary living. Studying Biology covers a range of fundamentals, as well as topics including physiology and anatomy, ecology and plant biology, and animal behaviour and microbes, viruses and parasites.
