Biology degrees abroad

Are you passionate about biology and eager to make a real difference in the world? The international Master’s programme in Biology and Sustainability at NTNU is designed for students like you—those who want to dive deep into the biological processes that shape life and use that knowledge to tackle global sustainability challenges.

Do you want to better understand the underlying mechanisms of life? Would you like know more about how you can use biology and mathematics to gain deeper insight into the evolution of animals and plants, the development of diseases and the possibly the development of new therapies? Then Systems Biology and Bioinformatics is the right programme for you! This programme will give you the knowledge and practical skills necessary to unravel the complexity of these systems and use it for academic, industrial and societal progress. After you’ve graduated, your ability to unify life sciences and mathematics will make you a great candidate for a career in medical research, drug development and biotechnology.

The faculty of Biology offers graduate study programs for Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. These programs are intended for students who already have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Life Sciences, or a bachelor’s or master’s degree in another scientific field or Engineering, although in the latter case, some additional courses may be required.

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.

The Master's degree program in Biology combines a broad foundation in natural sciences with state-of-the-art knowledge and advanced experimental methodology within biology.

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.

Biology courses satisfy the physical and life sciences requirements for transfer into four-year colleges and universities in majors other than biology and health science, and they satisfy the natural science requirement for an AA degree. You may also take biology courses to meet continuing education requirements in the health professions, or for personal interest.

The MSc Biology programme is a collaboration between the Institute of Biology Leiden, Naturalis Biodiversity Center and the Institute of Environmental Sciences, resulting in a broad and diverse scope.

MSc in Biology line offers full 2-year education in biology. The study program for full-time training offers a complete education in biology, with special directions particularly in molecular biology (neurobiology, genetics, microbiology), and animal and plant ecology. Special directions from the second semester offer more laboratory practice in molecular biology or more courses in ecology. The basic subjects are presented in lectures, seminars, and laboratory or fieldwork. The program provides a wider view of the related scientific fields (biophysics, biological chemistry). The students will familiarize their knowledge with the most modern instrumentation in our new research center. It covers all aspects of education, research, and innovation in the fields of biomedical, natural, and environmental sciences. It also provides an opportunity to join the research work in 22 different research groups operating in the building.

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.

Westlake University’s Biology department is a pioneering, supportive, and innovative community of scholar-practitioners focused on building excellence between the biological sciences and related branches of physical science, medicine, engineering, and material sciences.

The Bachelor of Science in General Biology is ideal for students with broad interests in the life sciences. The general biology program allows students to sample courses from marine biology, ecology, and molecular biology to discover their own areas of emphasis. Undergraduates can then easily switch between the programs offered within the department and graduates in general biology are poised to enter post-baccalaureate programs in any of these areas.

The Biology Bachelor of Arts program offers students a broad overview of living organisms and their environments. It combines coursework in biological sciences, chemistry, and mathematics to build a s...

Build on your Biology base. Let the laboratory open opportunities to you in the fields of biotechnology, health sciences, ecology, botany, zoology, and more.

This program is a great opportunity to gain a broad education and develop your own direction. You can choose courses in biology covering subjects from cell and molecular biology to ecology and behavior. You can also develop a multidisciplinary education by combining other subjects, including the humanities and social sciences.

The Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences focuses on utilizing scientific knowledge to better understand living organisms and the wonders of God’s world, providing a rigorous curriculum and strong foundation in core biology courses such as general biology, microbiology, and cell biology. Additional course requirements provide a foundation in related fields (chemistry, physics, and mathematics), and provide breadth to the study of biology.

Biology is the study of life, from the smallest of single-cell organisms to the rich complexity of the human being. How does life begin and evolve? How do organisms adapt to the environment and interact with one another? These are the questions biologists explore in classrooms, research laboratories, and in the natural world.

The Ph.D. in Biological Sciences program at Carnegie Mellon University exemplifies the interdisciplinary approach that has become an essential feature of modern biomedical science. Biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, cell and developmental biology, computational biology, molecular biology and genetics and neuroscience encompass our research foci; many students are involved in several disciplines while working on their research projects. This interdisciplinarity is unusual for departments of a similar size.
