Overview

Why study BSc Biology at Middlesex?

BSc Biology allows you to tailor your module choices from across a range of traditional and contemporary biological disciplines, and even from our environmental science and biomedical sciences degrees. This allows you to explore and tailor your scientific interests towards your career aspirations. You will learn to think like a scientist through theory classes and practical experimentation in our state-of-the-art labs.

BSc Biology is part of a new suite of biology courses, designed to offer choice and flexibility in the modules you study. There is a common first year that focuses on covering the fundamentals of biology so you have the option of changing pathway at the end of the first year. Find out more about:

Course highlights

There are two placement opportunities as part of this course: a year in industry between the second and third year; or an internship in your third year – which can be completed in the summer or on day release. We will support you with sourcing the best placement or internship for you and making your application

We have invested £3 million in science facilities and our labs provide the next generation of scientific instrumentation for molecular analysis post the genomic era - in line with the new focus in scientific research on protein-hunting rather than gene-hunting (more in facilities tab)
