Undergraduate Biology and Biosciences
Research? Fieldwork? Lab work at a pharmaceutical company? Biology and biosciences at Edge Hill prepares you for a range of roles where you can make a real impact.
With academics making discoveries in biomedical science, ecology, taxonomy and microbiology, you’ll be immersed in a rich research environment. When you’re not writing lab reports, we might ask you to produce an animation showing a biological process, curate a museum collection, or even join us on a field trip (paid for by us).
Our BSc (Hons) Biology degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, and graduates become associate members.
All our students enjoy a residential field trip, while some also explore tree-top environments with an intensive climbing course.
Past students have spent a year researching in a Chicago genetics lab, a Sydney hospital, or Estonia’s University of Tartu.
