通过灵活的课程，您可以在选择感兴趣的领域之前对不同的主题领域进行采样。因此，如果您对生物学科学充满热情，但又不确定要研究哪个领域，则是理想的选择。本课程为生物学奠定了良好的基础。它使您可以在本课程的其余部分中专注于所选的兴趣领域。在完成共同的第一学期学习后，您可以选择以下途径之一，并相应地调整学位。生物医学，生物化学与微生物学，环境生物学与生理学和药理学。实际工作量很大，其中包括定期进行环境生物学实地考察。第二年后，您可以选择工作。我们专门的就业办公室为您提供帮助。<br> 4年制课程，全日制（三明治年，
You'll start by building a strong foundation of the fundamental principles of biosciences. From there, you can take your degree anywhere you want - whether that's microbiology, environmental studies, physiology, or biochemistry. Regardless of your interests in biosciences, we have you covered.<br><br>You'll investigate, you'll collaborate, and you'll gain experience - in our labs, on field trips, and through projects that mirror the work environment.<br><br>The modules you study in your first year will lay the foundation for a broad understanding of the biological sciences. You'll be able to choose specialist modules in your second and third year and align them with your desired career. It can be difficult to know where you want to be after graduation, but we'll provide you with the experiences and skills you need to pursue your chosen path. You'll have the opportunity to work with industries in and outside of the traditional biosciences sector, such as the motor industry. This will help you develop a range of valuable skills, such as the ability to think and apply your knowledge in many ways. These skills will be extremely valuable when you graduate.<br><br>We want to help you build your professional identity, so we offer opportunities to work on industry challenges, debate current hot topics, build your portfolio, and take mock interviews. You'll learn how you work best in a team and even have a chance to deliver a Dragons' Den style pitch.<br><br>Our research is tackling real-world issues – and the people working on this research will be teaching you. This means you can be sure that what you are learning is frontier of new biological discoveries. For example, Dr Axel Barlow, our molecular ecology, and animal evolution expert, has used his expertise to uncover the secrets of the dwarf elephant which became extinct about 19,000 years ago.<br><br>During your last year research project, you will work closely with a member of staff on their area of expertise. They may ask for your help to develop a new idea that could be used in future research or teaching. You will be working on real-world problems and gaining a valuable experience at the same time.<br><br>You'll design your own experiments in group work and put them to the test in both laboratory and field learning environments. Developing problem-solving skills by trial and error are important graduate-level skills, and we make sure you gain this experience from the very beginning of your degree. We've also incorporated employability skills into the curriculum, so you not only learn theory and skills, but you also know how to find and apply for your dream job.<br><br><br>Your work placement is a great opportunity to not only learn how to do the job, but also to gain an understanding of the industry and what it takes to be successful. Our strong industry connections and the support of our Employability team will give you the tools you need to make the most of your placement experience.<br><br>You'll be supported throughout your placement year and will write a reflective report and diary during your placement. When you successfully complete your placement, you will be eligible to receive an additional award of a Diploma in Professional Practice.
