About this course

Shift between the microscopic and macroscopic level, a Biological Sciences degree course will teach you how modern biology can change the world. Biological scientists study living things and their relationship to the environment – from microorganisms to complex ecosystems. Their work shapes everyday life through innovations in areas including health, environment and agriculture.

Our Biological Sciences BSc(Hons) degree allows you to follow a human biology, biomedicine, conservation biology or environmental route. Working in the lab and in the field with expert researchers, you will explore how biology can be used to understand and change the world we live in. This course offers a guaranteed interview scheme with the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) for students wishing to pursue a degree in medicine.

See the careers section for more information about entry and eligibility criteria. Our Biological Sciences MSci offers an extra year of study at masters level.
