Applying
How to apply for a Biological Sciences degree.
All applications should be made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). There is lots of advice and guidance on the University's Undergraduate Study website on how to apply including making an application, our selection process, and what happens after you apply.
Degree Options in Biological Sciences
There are 15 different Biological Sciences degrees available to apply for through UCAS. You only need to apply for one, as the entrance requirements are the same for all programmes. If you are interested in Biological Sciences with Management (C1N1) please put this choice on your application to ensure you are automatically enrolled on the relevant compulsory business course.
If you know which subject specialisation you are interested in, you can choose that on your application. If you have no subject specialisation preference at this stage, choose Biological Sciences (C100).
Regardless of application choice, all students have the flexibility to change programmes within Biological Sciences provided the required courses have been passed.
