If you lack the necessary qualifications to begin our BSc (Hons) Biology program or wish to build confidence in advanced academic work, consider starting with a foundation year. This initial year offers structured support to help develop your scientific abilities and knowledge. For those captivated by the natural world and eager to explore how life evolves, adapts, and interacts, a Biology degree is an excellent choice. Biology explores life itself, examining living organisms and their environments across all levels of biological organization, from molecular to ecological scales. Recognized by the Royal Society of Biology, this comprehensive program covers diverse topics, including medical microbiology, primatology, genetics, and tropical field ecology. Beyond studying local habitats in south Wales, students can acquire scientific diving skills and conduct field research in tropical forests and coral reefs across Asia, Central, or South America. With strong demand for science graduates, our biology alumni pursue careers in research, education, healthcare, and conservation. Many continue their studies through postgraduate biology or science degrees, teaching qualifications, or advanced research programs like Masters by Research or PhDs.
