Programme
Year one
During the first year, you will study core modules in Biochemistry, Genetics and Cell Biology, Whole Organism Biology, Industrial Applications of Biology and Plant and Cell Physiology. This combination of animal, plant and microbial sciences, underpinned by cell biology, biochemistry and genetics, provides the basis for specialisation during your second and third years.
Year two
In the second and third years, there are no core modules and a wide range of optional modules. You are required to retain a breadth of knowledge by keeping a minimum number of modules in each of three areas: microbiology, animal biology and plant biology.
Year three
During the final year, you undertake a research project in a subject area of your choice (animal, plant or microbial).
