Overview

The Biology (Part-Time) (Hons) course from University of Gloucestershire we’ll prepare you for a future in industry or the health service in our leading-edge facilities set in the heart of our historic campus.

With a focus on small class, practical and field learning, you will be assessed entirely through coursework to gain a truly representative measure of graduate attributes sought by future employers and for postgraduate study.

To support your undergraduate journey, we also offer fee waivers, bursaries and awards, for both UK and International students. At the end of your degree, as a Gloucestershire graduate you can choose to pursue one of our postgraduate courses, receiving a priority offer and an alumni fees discount.

Career opportunities:

We offer a range of short-term and year-long placement options – so you can gain workplace experience, network with potential employers and obtain academic credit towards your degree.

Recent students have interned with the NHS, the RSPB and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. Others have gained teaching experience in schools to support their teacher training applications, and some have joined us in our research in bacteria and stomach ulcers, immunogenetics, and automatic bat detectors in ecological consultancy.

With this knowledge and experience, you’ll graduate career-ready and can go on to work as a biologist, ecologist, wildlife journalist, laboratory technician, conservation biologist, microbiologist, biotechnologist, researcher/teacher or environmental consultant.
