Course summary
Explore the science of life by choosing topics from our broad range of modules that both interest and excite you, from the molecular to the ecological, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of modern biology.Taught by internationally renowned academics, you will develop the skills required to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing our planet, whether it鈥檚 researching underlying scientific principles, the development of new treatments for disease or helping to protect endangered species.Practical work doesn鈥檛 just take place in our state-of-the-art laboratories. You will also have the opportunity to participate in one of our exciting field trips which include local excursions to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Bowland Fells, or residential trips to Do帽ana National Park in south west Spain, which is home to a plethora of plant, bird and animal species, including the world鈥檚 most endangered cat, the Iberian lynx. You may even contribute to an expert-led study of the Rift Valley of Kenya, where we will evaluate the challenging balance between tropical conversation and human activity.Our first year modules form a well-rounded introduction to the fundamental features of biology, from genetics and cell biology through to ecology and conservation biology, whilst having the opportunity to link these topics to global challenges, such as the maintenance of biodiversity and human health.You will spend your third year studying at one of our overseas partner universities building your global outlook and connectivity.Returning to Lancaster for your final year, you can choose from a diverse range of optional modules to develop your knowledge in the areas that interest you most. You will also complete a dissertation where you may choose to make use of our high-quality laboratories and cutting-edge instrumentation, or undertake field-based work, such as contributing to ongoing research projects.Lancaster University will make reasonable endeavours to place students at an approved overseas partner university that offers appropriate modules which contribute credits to your Lancaster degree. Occasionally places overseas may not be available for all students who want to study abroad or the place at the partner university may be withdrawn if core modules are unavailable. If you are not offered a place to study overseas, you will be able to transfer to the equivalent standard degree scheme and would complete your studies at Lancaster.Lancaster University cannot accept responsibility for any financial aspects of the year or term abroad.
