About this programme

Begin an immersive journey to understand life on Earth with our BSc Biology. Use the Integrated Foundation year to develop your scientific skills and confidence, ready to begin your degree. Successful completion of the Foundation Year also allows transfer to BSc Zoology or BSc Ecology and Conservation degrees, giving even broader opportunities. Biology helps us tackle urgent global challenges. Explore topics from biodiversity loss and climate change to sustainable food and health. You’ll study the structure, function, evolution and diversity of organisms. Explore interactions from ecosystems down to cells and genes. You’ll search for answers to questions such as how do pollinators support ecosystem health across Europe? And what role do genetics play in developing crops resistant to environmental stress? Our green, biodiverse campus and nearby protected sites provide exceptional hands-on learning opportunities. Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, this course is taught by leading experts whose research spans gene therapy, ecosystem restoration and biotech innovation. Our close-knit community supports your growth with authentic, skills-focused assessments. Our graduates enter diverse careers from environmental consulting and government to education, pharma and beyond. We sometimes make changes to our courses to improve your experience. If this happens, we’ll let you know as soon as possible. Global and Planetary Health is built around global issues.
