What this course is about
UCAS code: C103
Here's what University of Liverpool says about its Biological Sciences course.
Biological Sciences is the key science of the 21st century. It brings together ideas, techniques and information from all areas of biology – from ecology to the molecular sciences. This programme allows you to pursue your own areas of specific interest and to have an appreciation of the full range of the subject. However, should you decide sometime in the first two years that you wish to specialise, you can transfer to a number of programmes in the School of Biosciences.
This programme includes an Integrated Masters the first three years of the programme are identical to the BSc Biological Sciences C100 The final year involves additional training in research, including a 60-credit project and the option of an external internship, or of completing the whole year as an external industrial placement
