Course summary

The Biological Sciences with Professional Placement MSci course offers the opportunity to combine an academic degree course with a full year of professional training in a setting outside the University.This flexible Biological Sciences with Professional Placement degree programme combines academic education with professional training in a non颅-University setting. The modular course programme allows you to explore the full spectrum of biology, from ecosystems and organisms to molecular biology, keeping either a broad perspective or focussing on a narrowly defined area.Students on the MSci Professional Placement course cannot be awarded one of the 3-颅year specialist degree titles (Genetics, Zoology). Nevertheless there are no restrictions on your ability to choose modules of these areas.The placement extends over 10-11 months, intercalated between the second and final year. The project you will pursue during your placement allows you to apply your skills at an early stage in industry, non-governmental or public sector organisations.Over the past few years our students have worked for the following organisations and companies:- Sanger Institute- Astra Zeneca- GlaxoSmithKline- Pfizer- Centre for Population Biology- Cambridge Antibody Technology- Forsite Technology- The Field Studies Council- Medimmune- National Sealife Birmingham- The Binding Site- Basilea (Switzerland)- Celltech- Florida State University- Kew Gardens- University of Melbourne- Archipelagos- Mars Petcare- Harper Adams University
