Fieldwork Opportunities

Some of students go on a field course to the Pembrokeshire coast to study adaptations to aquatic environments

Many of our biological sciences courses offer you the opportunity to add something extra to your degree, if you are interested in a research career have a look at our Undergraduate Masters programmes, or would you prefer to get some work experience during your degree. If you have a flair for languages why not investigate our "with study in continental Europe" course.

Specialist Degree Label Options

Across all of our Biological Sciences programmes you are able to reflect on the modules you have taken and add a specific pathway (if you meet the requirements) at the start of the final year of your degree programme. These labels enable you to showcase a particular area of interest and skills that may act as a springboard to the next stage of your career.
