Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Our Biology degree offers a range of subjects and unique experiences due to links with renowned organisations such as Chester Zoo and other leading institutes, industries and charities. We supplement classroom learning with opportunities for work placements or fieldwork. There are also opportunities to take part in exciting laboratory-based research. We undertake diverse research activities that ensure enthusiastic delivery of contemporary content. We will encourage you to become a member of relevant professional societies, such as a member of the Royal Society of Biology, and participate at organised events, which can help you connect with fellow members to share knowledge and collaborate.
