Evolutionary Biology is at the centre of modern biology, spanning the subject from genomes to whole organisms. All species, past and present, are related in a common phylogenetic tree. All the diverse and extraordinary adaptations that allow organisms to function have evolved through natural selection. The way life has evolved has influenced every aspect of society, from literature to medicine.<br>You will study topics such as:<br><br>evolutionary processes and their cause<br>the behaviour of genes in populations<br>molecular phylogenetics and tree building<br>the origins of life and how it has evolved over time.<br>You will learn the principles of evolutionary biology and how it can be applied to geology, plant and animal breeding, computer science, the emergence of infectious diseases and how it answers questions about molecular and social evolution.<br>The skills you will gain from a biological sciences degree are transferable and highly valued across many career pathways. They include:<br><br>problem-solving<br>analytical and quantitative reasoning skills<br>presentation and communication<br>group working and collaboration<br>time management<br>Our Careers Service is available to help you throughout your time with us and for 2 years after graduating. We have a dedicated School Careers Consultant who runs drop-ins for students and can help with things like CV and application writing and preparation for interviews.
