Curriculum
Year 1 provides a foundation in the biology of micro-organisms, plants and animals. Studies combine to explain the genetic, molecular and chemical basis of life. Key numeric, written, laboratory, IT and study skills are an important feature, to facilitate effective study throughout the coming years.
Year 2 expands on the fundamentals of year one to more deeply explore the genetic control, molecular activities and cellular organisation in microorganisms, plants and animals. Options allow development of interest in animal conservation and behaviour. Dedicated practical modules provide the opportunity to explore theory and practice whilst preparing for your specialist honours research project.
An Optional sandwich year is available in a relevant industrial or research environment.
The final year explores advanced topics and issues depending upon the options of choice. These include animal biology and behaviour, or food microbiology, plant biotechnology, and the ethical and social implications of biological exploitation. You also undertake an extensive Honours research project of your choice within your preferred specialism.
