Presentación

Learn the fundamentals of human biology, particularly physiology and cell biology on a course that is taught by active researchers. Then take the opportunity to apply for a one-year placement and learn how to use what you have studied in the workplace. Finally, complete your education in the subject with a research project at the University or with your placement partner.

Requisitos

Normally five GCSEs at grade C or above, including English language, mathematics (or level 2 equivalent such as Level 2 adult literacy/numeracy or Key Skills Level 2 communication/application of number) and science, plus one of the following
• 280 points from at least two GCE/VCE A levels including at least 80 points in biology or BTEC National qualifications where the subject content includes chemistry and biology modules. We do not accept general studies A level.
• Access – an Access to HE Diploma from a relevant QAA-recognised Access to HE course which has mainly biology and chemistry related modules, or an equivalent Access to HE certificate. Normally we require 15 credits at level 2 and 45 at level 3 of which at least 15 level 3 credits should be graded at distinction level.
• successfully completing our Extended Degree in Biosciences or equivalent
