About this course

Top 20 in the UK for world-leading research in Biological Sciences Opportunities to undertake study abroad or a year’s placement in business or industry I love the research inspired teaching delivered by our academics and the opportunities to get involved in their cutting-edge research. An example of this is my work with Annette Broderick, where I assist in the fitting of satellite tags on Green turtles for her research. I love watersports so being so immersed in the marine environment fits with my lifestyle very well.

The student community is also very strong here and there is so much going on to get involved in.
