BSc Biology

University of Gloucestershire

Course overview

This bachelor's degree in Biology combines nature study (natural history) and health science (medical science). This makes the course broad and flexible. It focuses on areas like zoology, ecology, and biomedical themes. A key feature is that there are no exams; all of their grades come from coursework. The course is also rated highly for how happy the students are with it.

Students get hands-on experience by working in small classes and doing practical tasks in modern laboratories and outdoors. Students can choose to go on international research trips to places like South Africa or Borneo. They also have the chance to add a professional placement year to their degree, which gives them valuable experience in a real workplace.
