Our four-year Biology MBiol Honours degree is very similar in content to our Biology BSc degree but includes a year of Master's-level study, which offers significant research experience

Highlights of this degree
You study a broad curriculum that explores all areas of biology, including animal and plant biology, microbiology and ecology.
You will have the opportunity to choose from specialist topics such as gene technology, wildlife disease management and ecological survey techniques.

You’ll learn skills such as:

  • molecular biology techniques
  • bioinformatics
