Mathematical Biology MSci (Hons)

United Kingdom

Oxford International Education Group

Course Overview

The MSci course combines bachelor and Masters' level modules of Mathematical Biology into an integrated degree. There are many benefits to undertaking the MSci such as developing a deeper knowledge and increasing your career prospects. Mathematicians and biologists have a long history of working together. The discipline applies mathematical techniques and computational methods to address problems in biology. You'll learn about the critical role maths plays in making sense of the natural world and learn to apply it. For example, equations or formulas can predict or describe natural occurrences such as cell growth in tumors or organism behavioral patterns. During the first year, you'll spend two-thirds of your time studying life science modules to give you the biological background. You'll also learn about university-level maths.
