Why choose this course?
- You'll be taught by a teaching team who are recognised nationally and internationally for their high quality research and teaching. This means that you'll be taught about the latest developments in biology.
- Our teaching has been rated as 'excellent' in recent quality inspections, so you can be sure you'll receive a high standard of teaching.
- You'll get the chance to participate in lots of practical work in our laboratories, and also enjoy fieldtrips in the UK and abroad. This will help you to put the theory you learn into practice.
- You'll undertake a major research project in your final year to develop your practical knowledge and skills further in an area of your choice.
- We work closely with the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, and they provide access to their reserves which you'll use as part of field trips. You will also be able to undertake projects with the trust for your independent study module and on a voluntary basis if you wish to.
- You can combine this course with a wide range of other subjects in the joint honours scheme, including Zoology, Environmental Hazards, Geography, Criminology and Education Studies. This means you can gain a range of skills and knowledge that will appeal to potential employers.
