Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: BIA1

Here's what Manchester Metropolitan University says about its Biology with AI course.

Our BSc (Hons) Biology with AI degree brings together the fascinating world of biology with the fast-moving field of artificial intelligence (AI). You will build a strong foundation in core biological topics – from microbiology and molecular biology to biodiversity and ecology – while learning how AI can help us to solve complex global challenges in health, sustainability and conservation.

From your first year, you’ll develop practical skills in coding, computational thinking, and data analysis. As you progress, you’ll explore more advanced areas like machine learning, deep learning and generative AI, with a focus on how these tools can be applied in biological research and practice.

You’ll get hands-on laboratory and fieldwork experience and work on projects shaped by our leading researchers. There’s also the option to study abroad or take a placement year, helping you build the skills, confidence and global outlook to thrive in a fast-changing world.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have a unique mix of scientific knowledge and technical expertise that employers are actively looking for.

Features and Benefits

  • Gain interdisciplinary expertise. Learn how to tackle global challenges like biodiversity loss and antibiotic resistance with a degree that blends applied biology and artificial intelligence.

  • Graduate ready for the future. Build advanced skills in the exciting and fast-growing field of artificial intelligence and stand out to employers seeking future-focused talent.

  • Strong industry links. Our links with industry give you the opportunity to collaborate on real-world projects with partners like the NHS and RSPB, gaining experience that employers value.

  • Study in a city of science. Manchester leads the UK in AI readiness and sits on the doorstep of four National Parks - the perfect blend of innovation and biodiversity.

  • Professional study environment. Study in our £115m Dalton building, designed for collaboration, innovation and world-class learning and research.

  • Expand your horizons. You can take the four-year route, spending a year studying overseas in Europe, North America or Australia, or an industry placement.
