Presentación

Recent exciting advances such as the sequencing of many individual human genomes, and advances in genetic engineering and in protein analysis have triggered a ‘Biological Revolution’ and made the biosciences the most dynamic and rapidly expanding branch of science.

Increasingly, the traditional boundaries between the science disciplines have become blurred and this programme is for students who are excited by such developments within the biosciences. It embraces topics as diverse as microbiology and cell culture, molecular biology, plant and animal taxonomy and physiology, ecology, plant and animal pathology, bioinformatics and bioethics.

A high proportion of our students find employment in a wide variety of posts within the science sector, including cancer research, medical microbiology, pharmaceuticals, conservation management, and teaching in schools and FE colleges. Many others have gone on to continue their studies.

Salidas profesionales

The broad, multi-disciplinary nature of the programme is well suited to anyone seeking opportunities in science-based industry in either a technical, managerial or public relations role. The level of scientific literacy developed by this programme is also valuable in other non-scientific areas of industry, commerce and the media.

Our graduates have an excellent record of progressing to study for higher degrees. Some go on from this programme into a career in teaching, either at primary, secondary or post-compulsory level. The nature of the programme makes an excellent preparation for teaching Science as a core subject in the National Curriculum.

Our students also find employment in cancer research, research laboratory management, conservation management, the pharmaceutical industry (R&D), medical physics, public health laboratories and analytical laboratories.
