This qualification is primarily designed to provide a well-rounded, broad education that equips graduates with the knowledge base, theory, and methodology of life and environmental sciences.

Earth science is the study of how our planet evolved and the forces that have shaped, and continue to shape, the earth that we live on. In this specialist route available in our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64), you’ll learn why volcanoes occur, what fossils indicate about past environments, how the oceans regulate climate and why sea-level changes. As well as gaining an understanding of earth sciences, you’ll develop analytical and problem-solving skills.

BIU’s Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences offers students biological knowledge and a scientific education based on modern research. Our faculty includes more than 40 internationally recognized scientists who have a wide variety of research interests and who teach courses related to their specializations.

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.

Dive into Life Sciences majors from Erasmus University College. Choose from various biology subjects, ranging from molecular biology to physiology, evolution, health sciences, and medicine. The overarching multidisciplinary character of the Life Sciences curriculum is exemplified by the advanced courses in the Life Sciences majors, where there is an integrative context, in which the Department of Life Sciences collaborates closely with the other EUC Departments (Economics & Business, Humanities, and Social & Behavioural Sciences).

Environmental science explores the complexities of the natural environment and our relationship with it. This specialist route, available in our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64), takes a holistic approach to the science of our environment investigating topics such as global warming, water resources, pollution and conservation. Our environment is fascinating – but it’s under threat from climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion. Explore the consequences and implications of environmental change for sustainability from a scientific perspective, by learning about the processes, links and interactions operating in different environments.

The Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Biophysical Life Sciences combines biology, chemistry, physics and the pharmaceutical sciences to study life from different perspectives. This equips you to make contributions to understanding of life and to address life science-related societal challenges.

Combine chemistry, biology and medical sciences in a challenging programme. Unravel the workings of healthy and diseased cells and gain the fundamental knowledge necessary for medical innovation.

Can we generate new organs from cells? How do biological molecules such as proteins and DNA work? Do you wonder to what extent it is possible to produce better medicine, enzymes, or food using biotechnology? In this degree program in Life Science and Technology, you will learn how to find answers to questions like these. This degree program combines elements from a variety of disciplines, including biology, pharmacy, physics, chemistry, and engineering. You will learn how to use this knowledge to create medical applications that make people better or improve their quality of life. Our students and researchers study the intricate details of living organisms but also try to build life-like systems from molecules that are not alive. If we are able to build such a synthetic cell we will understand the requirements for life much better, and we might be able to use these cells as factories for new bio-molecules. These are just a few examples of the things we explore. By the time you start this program, numerous other new research projects will undoubtedly have started up. You’re bound to find something that arouses your interest.

Take your first steps towards a career in the biological sciences with the Biological Science BSc (Hons) degree course from Kingston University. This degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB), so you can stay up to date with developments in life sciences. You can also choose to integrate a year’s professional placement into your degree, to give your career a head start.

The complexity of processes in the food industry requires the training of interdisciplinary specialists. They should have sound business knowledge in the areas of product development, product commercialisation, product provision, innovation management and marketing. They should also be proficient in the application of food technology.
