Biological Sciences

About this course

Biological sciences is the broadest of the life science disciplines, encompassing the molecular and cellular mechanisms of life alongside ecology, evolution, genetics, microbiology, and development. It examines life from the level of genes and proteins through cells and organisms to populations and ecosystems, asking how living things function, interact, evolve, and respond to change. The discipline sits at the centre of contemporary scientific endeavour, with biological understanding driving advances in medicine, agriculture, conservation, and biotechnology. At the University of Leeds, this three-year full-time programme places molecular and cellular biology at its core while being described as the most flexible and interdisciplinary of the biology degrees on offer. You will study how cells respond to and influence their environment, examine the molecular basis of inherited disorders a
