Overview

The Biological Sciences (Hons) course from Glasgow Caledonian University can include how a cell responds to a specific pathogen, or how a drug targets a specific pathogen or cellular protein. Equally, external stimuli, such as chemicals, toxic waste or carcinogens, can also have an effect on how cells grow and divide, modifying their function with devastating consequences for health.

Recent advances in the field of biological sciences have revolutionised the way we understand and treat disease. Stem cell and novel cell-based therapies and personalised medicine are increasingly in the headlines and Biological Scientists are leading the way in developing these powerful new therapeutic options.

General requirements

The grades or qualifications you need will vary by course and may also depend on your personal circumstances.

You will find the qualifications you need for each course under the Entry Requirements on the individual course pages.

SQA Highers: ABBBB

A levels: BCC

You will normally need to achieve grades as good as or better than these standard requirements to be made an offer unless your personal circumstances mean you qualify as a widening access student.

Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
Liability
