Collaborative provision

The School of Biological Sciences offers programmes of study in collaboration with other schools.

The degree programme tables (DPTs) for individual courses can be found at:

Chemistry

Chemistry run three service courses for the School of Biological Science for first year students and offer a more specialist second year course.

Programme name PG / UG

Biomedical Sciences

There is a close collaboration between the Schools of Biological Sciences and Biomedical Sciences. Biomedical Sciences offer courses in all 4 years of the Biological Science degree programmes. Students can choose to study for their senior honours year based in the School of Biomedical Sciences which can lead to the following degrees:

Programme name PG / UG
Biological Sciences (Infectious Diseases) (BSc Hons) Undergraduate
Biological Sciences (Medical Biology) (BSc Hons) Undergraduate
Biological Sciences (Neuroscience) (BSc Hons) Undergraduate
Biological Sciences (Pharmacology) (BSc Hons) Undergraduate
Biological Sciences (Physiology) (BSc Hons) Undergraduate
Biological Sciences (Reproductive Biology) (BSc Hons) Undergraduate

Staff from both Schools of Biological Sciences and Biomedical Sciences act as Directors of studies for students on the Biological Sciences programmes.

Business School

Most of our degree programmes are also available with a 'with management' option. These lead to the following programmes:

Programme name UG / PG
Biological Sciences (Biochemistry) with Management (BSc Hons) Undergraduate
Biological Sciences (Biotechnology) with Management (BSc Hons) Undergraduate
Biological Sciences (Developmental and Cell Biology) with Management (BSc Hons) Undergraduate
