This four-year degree programme follows the structure of the BSc Biological Sciences, but gives you the opportunity to spend your third year on an industrial placement in the workplace. The opportunity to take part in a year in industry makes for an invaluable addition to your scientific knowledge and technique. It increases your employability and gives you the chance to put your first two years of biochemical learning into practise.
The course is designed to allow you to study a wide range of science subjects in the first year without prematurely committing yourself to any particular specialisation. The first year modules cover all the major areas of biology, alongside giving you a grounding in mathematics, statistics, computing, physics and chemistry. You will find the latter units especially valuable if you do not have A-levels in these subjects.
