Through your third-year research project, you'll also gain valuable practical research experience and specialist insight into an area you're particularly interested in.

The integrated masters (MSci) version of this course provides you with additional research experience, preparing you for your future career or further postgraduate study.

This course is accredited at advanced level by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting in part the academic and experience requirement for the Membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol).
