Biological Sciences
Love life? Study biology
Biological Sciences is for those who love life. Whether you want to stand in a metre of mud, on top of a tree, under the sea or on a kilometre of Antarctic ice, biology is for you.
Our students have many opportunities; they can be ecologists working towards ecosystem restoration, physiologists aiming to understand how organisms function, or geneticists using DNA as the key to identifying diseases of organisms. With biology as a great start to their career, our graduates have secured positions around the world, testimony to the international standing of our degrees.
Biological Sciences covers a wide range of specialist areas, including animal behaviour, biochemistry, botany, ecology, marine biology, microbiology, physiology and zoology.
