Biological Sciences

About this course

Biological Sciences is one of the most expansive and consequential fields of study available at university, encompassing the full range of life from the molecular machinery inside a single cell to the ecology of the planet's largest ecosystems. To study it is to engage with questions about how living things work, how they evolved, how they interact with each other and their environments, and how understanding those processes can be applied to medicine, conservation, agriculture, and biotechnology. The discipline is evolving rapidly, driven by advances in genomics, imaging technology, and computational biology. At Durham University, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year with work placement opportunities and a year abroad, making it one of the more richly structured biology degrees available. You will cover cell biology and biochemistry, genetics and molecular biolo
