The BSc Biological Sciences gives you the exciting opportunity to study biology in its widest sense: from molecules to ecosystems, from microbes to humans. Starting from a broad foundation, you will have the opportunity to specialise your degree to reflect your emerging interests and to prepare you for the career that you aspire to. You will develop your knowledge in a number of current areas including environmental impact, human and animal health issues, and food security. You will study the topics that are fundamental to biosciences and will have opportunities to specialise and tailor your degree, particularly in your final year, to the areas that interest you. The skills you will develop include the ability to solve problems, evaluate evidence and analyse data. These skills will be with you for life and prepare you for a wide variety of careers. This course will prepare you for a wide range of careers, from scientific and technical roles in specialised areas, through to those which draw upon the breadth of biological sciences, such as teaching and science journalism. While many of our students go immediately into the scientific job market, others choose to undertake further study, such as masters degrees or PhD studentships. The scientific problem solving skills you will develop may be put to good use within the industrial or finance sector, while biological sciences graduates’ professional and communication skills make them ideal candidates for managerial roles. With a BSc Biological Sciences, the nature of your future career is directed by your own interests and the combination of topics you choose to study. Our recent biosciences graduates have gone on to roles such as: Microbiology Researcher, Procter & Gamble; Analytical Chemist, AstraZeneca; Biochemist, GlaxoSmithKline; Quality Control Scientist, Genzyme; Biochemist, Food Standards Agency and Biomedical Scientist, Public Health England.
