Undergraduate

Applied Bioscience & Zoology

UK University

Overview

Applied Bioscience & Zoology is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Zoology splits the week between lectures and laboratory work, and the final stage is built around a supervised research project.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
