Overview

This Life Sciences with a Modern Language course offered at The University of Manchester is ideal if you are committed to studying the life sciences, but have not yet decided on the area in which you want to specialise. You can then make that decision from a position of greater knowledge at the end of the first year.

The combination of units taken in the first year will enable you to transfer to most of our biological and biomedical sciences courses.

They offer French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin for the language component of the course, which includes a year abroad on a research placement.

Career opportunities

Graduates from modern language courses are extremely desirable to employers who require significant relevant work experience.

In the growing field of international bioscience research collaborations, graduates with a good command of a foreign language are at a distinct advantage.

Their graduates go into a range of careers, both within the life sciences and in other sectors.
