Biological Sciences

About this course

Biological sciences is one of the broadest and most important disciplines in science, encompassing the study of life from its molecular foundations to the dynamics of entire ecosystems. It addresses questions that range from how genes control development and behaviour to how species evolve, how populations interact, and how living systems respond to environmental change. The discipline is central to our understanding of health and disease, biodiversity and conservation, food production, and the response to global environmental challenges. At the University of Aberdeen, you will study biological sciences over four years full-time, developing a programme that spans both the molecular and the organismal aspects of the discipline. You will engage with cell biology, genetics, evolutionary genomics, ecology, physiology, and the tools and methods of modern biological research, including practi
