How did life on Earth evolve? How does DNA code for important biological functions? What do food webs look like at the bottom of the sea? How does climate change affect animals and plants? These are some of the questions that biology seeks to answer.

The global pharmaceutical industry requires well-trained scientists who have the education and ambition to drive innovative drug development. The Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology (MCCB) program places the student at the forefront of those efforts by providing a fundamental understanding of the drug-body interaction from the molecular to the physiological level. By engaging this broader approach, that is, not only trying to cure disease (medicinal chemistry) but also placing an emphasis on the underlying associated cellular pathways (chemical biology), further innovative opportunities for treating disease will come forward. In this regard the MCCB program is unique within the German academic landscape and should help bridge the evolving needs of the high growth pharmaceutical industry.

Our Biological Sciences BSc will give you a solid academic foundation in biological knowledge and the key skills to prepare you for careers ranging from research, medicine, science and education, to law and management. Our flexible course enables you to focus on molecular science, human biology or applied biosciences, or take a route designed specifically toward your own interests. Alongside developing an excellent foundation in biological knowledge, through the study of our core modules, you'll be able to explore global challenges facing humanity and the planet – and the biological solutions to help overcome those challenges – through an extensive range of optional subjects. You'll have the chance to explore cutting-edge topics in molecular biology and genetics, microbiology, the urban environment, global challenges, pharmacology, and biological applications. Our modules are research-driven, with a passion for scientific enquiry. You'll also have the opportunity to undertake a lab-based final-year project, giving you experience in the latest methods and developments in medical and scientific research. The University Careers and Employability Service and course-related events provide opportunities to discover a range of bioscience-related careers to support you in preparing for your future. Our Biological Sciences BSc has been designed to provide a thorough knowledge of biosciences and to equip you with vital transferable skills that will help you to succeed in both science and non-science careers.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Integrated Environmental Management and Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Science) aims to prepare qualified, competent, professional secondary science teachers capable of satisfying the educational needs of learners with different abilities within a community that values multiple aspects of intelligence. Graduates will attain academic excellence and professional competence to teach science effectively in schools.

The biology major at UNG is a versatile program that allows you to explore the biological sciences as a whole, while also diving into specialty areas of the field. While there are courses all biology majors are required to take, there is flexibility in the curriculum to choose courses that will help you work toward your career goals. For example, if you want to study wildlife management in graduate school, you could choose elective courses in ornithology and conservation biology. If you're interested in a professional program, then you could take upper-level electives that satisfy the admissions requirements for your dream program.

Study our BSc (Hons) Marine Science at the Scottish Association for Marine Science UHI (SAMS UHI) in Oban and explore the marine realm first hand. You will learn about marine science and technology from world-leading researchers and apply the latest technologies.

Can you imagine being able to predict diseases before they appear? Or grow plants that resist pests without the need for pesticides? All this is possible thanks to genetics. With this official degree you will discover that each cell is loaded with information and you will be able to transform sectors as diverse as medicine, industry, agriculture, sport or the environment.

In this specialist route available in our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64), you’ll explore diverse aspects of biology from cells to whole organisms, with further options to study subject areas such as human biology, or to explore the role of science in society. You’ll develop analytical and scientific literacy skills by carrying out practical work and a research project.

Midway's Biology program propels students into professional schools that include pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, and physical and occupational therapy. Students can select from a major in biology, a minor in biology, or a minor in chemistry. Faculty-led research with students is woven into the curriculum, and seniors present their research during the annual Research Symposium held each semester on campus. Students also can earn honors and be inducted into the Beta Beta Beta Science Honor Society.

BSc (Hons) Biology is the science of life and is at the forefront of social change, from the use of genetically modified organisms to humanity’s effect on the environment, sustainable energy and food production. At Kent, you'll gain the skills, knowledge and support to help build a better tomorrow.

UB’s Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program combines biology, computer science, and data analysis. You'll use electronic health records to prevent pandemics, analyze genetic data to develop new treatments, or create models to strengthen ecosystems. A flexible, interdisciplinary major with in-demand skills!

Lakeland University's Biology program is a completely immersive journey toward knowledge of the roots of all matter and life. Our state-of-the-art laboratories, tools, and technology will prepare you with unlimited potential for a variety of careers. 

Microbiology with Professional Studies is the study of bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses, and is of immense importance in the environment, agriculture and food, biomedical sciences and biotechnology. Graduates in microbiology are therefore highly sought after in these fields. Microbiology is very central to many aspects of the biological sciences, from pure research to diverse industrial, medical and environmental applications.

Biology is the science of life itself, exploring the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living organisms. The BSc (Hons) Biology degree at Lincoln covers a diverse range of subject areas while allowing students to develop their own specialisms. The course includes opportunities for overseas fieldwork to study living organisms in their natural environments.

Simply stated, biology is the study of life. A complete education in biology requires a survey of the natural sciences that integrates ecology and evolution with organismal, cellular, and molecular biology. For a comprehensive, transformative education, biology students are engaged in rigorous classroom instruction as well as dynamic, hands-on research.
