In this specialist route available in our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64), you’ll explore diverse aspects of biology from cells to whole organisms, with further options to study subject areas such as human biology, or to explore the role of science in society. You’ll develop analytical and scientific literacy skills by carrying out practical work and a research project.

This BSc (Honours) in Biology course is for those inspired by the natural world. Studying a biology degree will enable you to understand the foundations of life and the biological processes involved. Explore diverse subject areas from the cellular and molecular levels to whole organism survival. Biology encompasses all living species, explaining their diversity via evolutionary origins.

Biology is the science of life itself, exploring the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living organisms. The BSc (Hons) Biology degree at Lincoln covers a diverse range of subject areas while allowing students to develop their own specialisms. The course includes opportunities for overseas fieldwork to study living organisms in their natural environments.

Our research-led BSc Biological Sciences degree provides the greatest possible choice and flexibility, allowing you to choose modules across virtually the whole range of subjects on offer at the School. We offer a wide choice of subjects across the biological sciences including animal and plant biology; microbiology; genetics; systems biology; ecology; disease; behaviour; neuroscience; zoology; developmental and stem cell biology; and evolution. As part of our Ecology and Conservation module, we also run a range of impressive field courses both within the UK and overseas, including River Ecology in Wales, Tropical Marine Ecology in Tobago, and Rainforest Biodiversity in Malaysia.

The aim of the BSc in Biology is to train our students to become specialists who are able to analyze the most important relationships in biology, who know the most important research methods in this field, and who are able to plan, solve and evaluate biological tasks.

Simply stated, biology is the study of life. A complete education in biology requires a survey of the natural sciences that integrates ecology and evolution with organismal, cellular, and molecular biology. For a comprehensive, transformative education, biology students are engaged in rigorous classroom instruction as well as dynamic, hands-on research.

The BSc in Biology line offers a full 3-year education in biology. The study program for the full-time training offers a complete education in biology, with special directions, particularly in neurobiology, genetics, microbiology, animal and plant ecology, botany, zoology, and plant physiology. Special directions in the second year have two modules: infra-individual (means more laboratory practice and cellular biology) and supra-individual (means more ecology) courses.

Biology is considered an essential part of knowledge. For this reason, the Degree in Biology provides knowledge and skills in morphology, systematics, structure and function of living beings, of the intra and inter specific interaction of their adaptation with the environment that surrounds them. One of the objectives of the bachelor's degree is the training of professionals who are capable of producing advances in this field that are essential for the development of society.

With interactive and interdisciplinary experiences, including opportunities to conduct hands-on research on cancer and Alzheimer's disease, you will gain invaluable insights into how life and physical sciences intersect in the real world. The BS program in biology with an emphasis on the natural sciences examines these disciplines through experiential learning. By learning in an integrative environment that emphasizes the connectedness of the life sciences, students gain a better understanding of larger scientific concepts from multiple perspectives.

The Bachelor's in Aquatic Sciences focuses on fundamental and applied biology, emphasizing marine biology, ecology, aquaculture, and environmental management. With a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and statistics, students gain hands-on experience through research projects, lab work, and field studies.

BSc (Hons) Biology is the science of life and is at the forefront of social change, from the use of genetically modified organisms to humanity’s effect on the environment, sustainable energy and food production. At Kent, you'll gain the skills, knowledge and support to help build a better tomorrow.

How did life on Earth evolve? How does DNA code for important biological functions? What do food webs look like at the bottom of the sea? How does climate change affect animals and plants? These are some of the questions that biology seeks to answer.

The School of Natural Science offers the BS in Biology degree for students interested in strong, comprehensive biological studies. As a student in our biology program, you will gain a solid foundational understanding of biology and can explore further fields such as molecular biology, ecology, physiology, and organismal biology. You’ll go deeper in your understanding of biological concepts with supportive studies in mathematics, chemistry, and physics and gain the communication and critical thinking skills, essential to meeting the needs of the times, through general liberal arts study.

The BA in Biology provides a sound liberal arts education with substantial experience in quantitative and analytical thought, along with preparation for related professions. The program provides the strong background necessary not only for graduate study in the life sciences, but also enables students to develop careers in a wide variety of disciplines, including teaching, environmental management, microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics, wildlife management, fisheries biology, and marine science.

The BSc in Marine Biology with Professional Studies oceans are a key element for the existence of life on Earth. 97% of all the water on Earth, and 99% of the habitable space on this planet, is in the ocean’ (source: NASA). Marine biology is the interdisciplinary study of life in the ocean. At the present time, the position of marine biology graduates has never been as critical to the functioning of our society, economy, and environment.
