Overview

You will study both the biological sciences and their contemporary social context, combining science, the humanities and social sciences in a single course.

You will explore the changing social, ethical and political dimension of the biological sciences while also developing research, writing and communication skills.

You will learn from staff at our world-renowned Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine , whose specialisms range from the critical history and social implications of genetics to evolutionary theory, biomedical sciences and modern medical practice.

Career opportunities

The significant and relevant work experience gained during the year of industrial/professional experience makes graduates of this course especially attractive to employers.
