BSc Biology With Year Abroad
Course overview
This four-year BSc Biology with Year Abroad at the University of Hull is very practical and focuses on hands-on learning. The course covers major world problems and key biology subjects like genetics, evolution, and cell biology. The third year of the programme is spent studying in another country at a partner university. This allows students to gain experience and make contacts in an international setting.
Students are taught by award-winning experts and use industry-standard facilities, including special training labs and a large tropical fish tank area. The course is checked by different types of assessment: exams, hands-on practical work (like lab sessions), and written assignments (such as essays and research projects). Students also have the option to take field courses, which sometimes involve staying overnight or travelling to other countries.
