The MSci in Biological Sciences with Professional Placement lets you integrate academic study with a full year of hands-on training in an external professional environment.
This adaptable Biological Sciences with Professional Placement program merges university education with practical experience beyond academia. The modular structure enables you to investigate biology's full scope - from ecosystems and organisms to molecular biology - while maintaining either a broad viewpoint or specializing in a specific field.
The 10-11 month placement occurs between your second and final years. During this placement, you'll undertake a project that lets you implement your skills early in your career within industrial, NGO, or public sector settings.
