Biological Sciences with Management (3 years) Imperial

Overview

All Biological Sciences with Management (3 years) students at Imperial follow the same core modules for the first year, covering the basic areas of biology alongside key scientific skills. 

Quick Facts:

• This gives you a solid grounding in the fundamental topics, and prepares you for advanced study.
• In the second year you study applied biology and genetics, then begin to specialise through optional modules.

The structure of the Department's courses means that transfer between different Biological Sciences degrees is usually possible up until the end of the first year.

• Transfer onto Language for Science courses must be completed at the very start of the first year.

• Transfer onto Year in Industry/Research courses should be completed at the start of the second year to allow time to arrange a suitable placement.

• Transfer onto the Management Year is subject to approval from the Imperial College Business School; and academic performance in the first two years of the degree (students should be working to a 2:1 standard by the end of their second year).

• It is not possible to transfer onto one of the Biochemistry or Biotechnology degrees from a Biological Sciences degree.

Careers

• Life sciences graduates enjoy excellent career opportunities. Most of our graduates study for a higher degree in life sciences and many follow careers in the field, particularly in the research and management areas of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, biomedical science, food technology, agrisciences, and pest, disease and environmental management.
• Similar opportunities exist for life scientists in government and independent laboratories involved in medical research, public health, forensic investigation, disease research, conservation, and pollution. Some of our graduates also go on to work in medical careers, become teachers, or even work in the media.
