Biology

Course summary

Saving threatened species, studying microbes, curing diseases? Today’s world offers many challenges to a biologist. Which ones are you interested in? With exciting advances in areas such as genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, the environment and marine science – there is no greater time to be studying Biology. The department is well resourced and we try to make the subject as hands-on as possible – organising trips to spend the day at FSC Juniper Hall to experience real life Biology and a trip to Camber Sands to investigate sand dune succession, where possible. We also make use of our beautiful grounds to study biodiversity through sampling. Whether deciding on a career in medicine, genetics, forensics, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, biochemistry, psychology, sports science, conservation or journalism, a biological qualification gives you many skills and increases your career options so you can adapt to the world changing around you.
