Overview
Personalise your Biology BSc degree to match your needs as you progress; will you choose to pursue human biology, conservation, animal behaviour, genetic engineering or any one of the other study areas the University of Leeds has to offer.
Key Facts
- Biology has vital applications in current key global challenges. An ever-growing world population and a changing climate puts immense pressures on the environment, threatens endangered species and reduces agricultural production. With your degree, you will be at the forefront of providing sustainable solutions to these issues.
- Be part of the revolution in genomics, gene modification and biotechnology currently transforming the world. Equipped with the skills and knowledge of the fundamental biological processes, you will help drive forward science-based solutions to some of the world’s biggest issues.
- This 3-year BSc can also be converted into an integrated Masters (MBiol) with an optional additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.
Course highlights
- Field course options include trips within the UK, Spain and South Africa, in which you will develop practical field-based skills in a wide range of habitats.
- Access to visit and conduct research at the University’s state-of-the-art National Pig Centre.
- Collaborate on your final year research project with an expert in the field. You could study marine biology to better manage coral reefs threatened by climate change, understand how bees cooperate as social animals, or develop new ways to reduce the impact of invasive species on local ecosystems.
- Build practical experience undertaking modules including practical genetics, parasitology and field course options.
- Our year in industry programme allows you to gain experience working with organisations, developing new skills for your CV.
- Experience life and learning in a different country through our study abroad programme, where you'll gain fresh perspectives and develop skills valued by employers.
- The ongoing expansion of biosciences creates varied employment prospects and career opportunities.
