COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc (Hons) Biology course offers a comprehensive journey through the study of living organisms, combining theoretical understanding with practical experience. In Year 1, students build a strong foundation in biological principles through modules such as Fundamentals of Biosciences, Essential Skills in Biosciences, and Introduction to Field Biology, which introduce core laboratory and field techniques. Year 2 focuses on developing advanced practical and analytical abilities through compulsory modules like Bioscience Practical Skills and Topics in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Students can also tailor their studies with optional modules such as Biology of Disease, Molecules to Cells, and Tissues to Organisms, allowing them to explore areas that match their scientific interests. In the final year, the program emphasizes independent learning and research through a major Research Project and Contemporary Topics in Applied Biology, where students apply their knowledge to real-world issues in modern biology. Optional modules such as Infection Sciences for Biomedical Sciences, Molecular and Cellular Pathology, Drug Development, Fieldwork, and Work-Based Learning provide opportunities for specialization and professional experience. Overall, the course integrates laboratory work, field studies, and research to prepare graduates for diverse careers in biology, biomedical science, environmental research, or further academic study.
