BSc (Hons) Biology
Our BSc (Hons) Biology programme offers the chance to gain a solid grounding in the biological sciences – with the flexibility to develop your own interests and learn about the areas and aspects that match your career ambitions.
Study Biology at Manchester Met and you’ll begin by learning the fundamentals of the subject, before exploring the areas that interest you most through a variety of option units. Along the way, you’ll explore the issues that shape our world and touch our lives – from molecular biology and genetics, to ecology, biodiversity and conservation.
The programme also allows you to develop your own interests in areas such as comparative and environmental physiology, plant science, brain and behaviour, population biology and the conservation of biodiversity, to tailor your learning to your career aspirations.
In our laboratories, you’ll get to grips with the latest equipment, as we help you develop a range of practical skills that you can take into your career. And, by getting out in the field, you can learn about biology out in the real world – whether in the UK or overseas.
Our Biology degree also provides the option of spending an extra year expanding your horizons, either studying with one of our partner universities overseas or working on a placement with a business or non-governmental organisation.
What is the length of the course?
- 3 years full-time
- 4 years with placement year
