BSc in Biological Sciences

We operate a modular system in which you will study six modules each year. The Biological Sciences BSc (Hons) three-year degree course has been designed to allow you more choice between modules in each successive year so that you can follow specialized routes within Biological Sciences, or address specific areas of interest, as you progress.

Recommended module combinations (“routes”) to allow various themes of specialization are available, although these still allow choice at each level of the course. We have specified recommended routes corresponding to the following subject areas:

  • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
  • Biomedical Science
  • Cell Biology
  • Genetics
  • Ecology and Environmental Science.

Other module combinations are possible to give courses that specialize in “whole organism” biology, or plant sciences, or microbiology. Transfer to the four-year MBiol course is possible up to the end of Year 2.
