Course Description

Our BSc Life Sciences with Entrepreneurship course will enable you to combine science with business skills - a key driver of employability.

The course is ideal if you are committed to studying the biological sciences, but have not yet decided on the area in which you want to specialise. You can then make that decision from a position of greater knowledge at the end of the first year.

The combination of units taken in the first year will enable you to transfer to most of our bioscience courses.

The entrepreneurship units will be offered via the Masood (Manchester) Enterprise Centre (MEC) of the Alliance Manchester Business School at the University, exposing you to key learning in business innovation. The course also includes a year in industry on a research or business placement.
