About this course

Top 20 in the UK for world-leading research in Biological Sciences 90% of our Biological Sciences research is internationally excellent Based on research rated 4* and 3* in the Research Excellence Framework 2021 Doing this degree has given me so many opportunities that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I've managed to do so many fantastic things. My favourite is a close call between my dissertation (the effects of aromatherapy on stress in rescue centre dogs) and being part of the Elephants and Bees Project in Kenya for a month, which was a priceless experience.
