生物学Biology [BSc]

Biology is the study of life processes and comprises many sub-disciplines. First year students are introduced to biochemistry, cell biology, genetics at the molecular and population levels, and biodiversity, in a series of compulsory units. This gives students a base upon which they can specialise in the latter stages of their degree.

You can transfer between most life sciences degree programmes at the end of the first year, and sometimes after.

Career opportunities

?/P>

Bioscience graduates from the University of Manchester go into a variety of careers. About half stay in the life sciences and related disciplines, choosing either to study further research or taught courses such as a Masters or PhD, which could lead onto a career in bioscience, or medicine/dentistry degrees. A significant number go on to complete a science teaching qualification, such as a secondary science PGCE. Those that choose a career outside of the life sciences are highly sought after by large multinationals. Graduate programmes in accountancy, finance, law, marketing and publishing are particularly popular choices for graduates from the Faculty who do not wish to stay in science.
