Biological Science Bsc (Hons)
Course Overview
Biology is the study of life. Taught in our state-of-the-art Science Centre, this Biological Science course will teach you that life processes result from a series of complex interactions at a molecular, cellular and whole organism level.
You'll develop hands-on skills that employers look for, as well as a detailed understanding of everything from biological systems at molecular level to ecosystems. You'll investigate these systems in all their fascinating detail and develop your academic and practical skills, enabling you to interpret and analyse biological data and evaluate your own work.
