BSc Biology
Course overview
The BSc Biology at the University of Lincoln explores the science of life, including the structure, function, growth, evolution, and habitats of living organisms. Students join a strong academic group in the Department of Life Sciences and learn from experienced academics who base teaching on research. The course covers a wide range of topics while allowing students to choose areas of special interest.
