Presentación

This course is recognised by the Royal Society of Biology, so you can become an Associate Member upon graduation. We work closely with organisations, including Derby Museums, Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, Royal Derby Hospital, and Sea Life, to provide you with work and internship opportunities, access to field sites, and guest lecturers to enhance your learning experience. You can take advantage of our high-spec laboratories, glasshouse, insectory, and student research laboratory.
You can study Biology on its own or as part of a joint honours degree. You’ll learn about topics such as ecology, evolution, genetics, human biology, and current issues, including the human genome and its impact on drug development and cancer therapies. Our teaching team are active researchers so your learning will be informed by the latest developments.

Requisitos

Our entry requirements are usually 260 UCAS points, of which at least 220 will be from your core A2s (full A levels), including Biology or equivalent qualifications such as BTEC Diploma, International Baccalaureate, Scottish Highers etc.
We´ll accept up to 40 points towards the total from level 3 qualifications such as AS levels (where those AS levels are not taken on to A2 level), the Extended Project or Music qualifications.
We don´t accept points from Key Skills Level 3. If you have any questions about what is or isn´t accepted, please contact our Admissions team.
We also accept the Access to HE Diploma.
Your points at level 3 will be in addition to 5 GCSEs at grade C or equivalent level 2 qualifications.
The UCAS tariff points are a guide - we´ll also consider all the information that you´ve included in your application. We´ll also want to see that you´re enthusiastic and motivated to take this course and that you have the potential to benefit from coming to university.
