University Degree: Biology

"In biology... just when you think you understand something, you peel off a layer and find deeper complications beneath. Nature is anything but simple."

Richard Preston

Biology students study every aspect of life, and in a world that contains everything from arsenic-eating bacteria to blobfish, that's a bold claim. So if you want to learn about the inner workings of animals and plants, and how they interact with each other in global ecosystems, this is the course for you.Biology is a great starting point for specialisations like zoology, microbiology, and genetics.

The sciences are collaborative, so good written communication is a must. While at university, handing in well-constructed lab reports and papers could be the difference between a 2.1 and a first; in the world beyond, it could be the difference between getting into a good journal or getting into one of the headliners like Nature. Get a head start now with our accelerated path to writing great papers.

No matter what university or specialty you choose, when you finish your biology degree you'll be well equipped for further study and careers withinanalysis, research, education, biotech, and even business.
