Course Overview

The BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences degree at the University of Suffolk is now accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, the leading professional body for the biological sciences in the United Kingdom. The BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences degree course aims for students to develop an understanding of the complexity and diversity of life processes through the study of a range of modules including Microbial Organisms, Immunology, Cell Biology, and Introduction to the Genome. It explores cutting-edge developments including stem cell research, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and cell-based therapies. Modules, such as Research Methods and Scientific Communication, emphasize the need for graduates to be able to communicate science to the wider community and along with Professional Development for Life Sciences module, we are promoting graduates with key employability skills required for the rapidly changing biotechnology industry. The course also provides an excellent background for further study and will be particularly suited to those who are interested in an interdisciplinary approach to bioscience.
