Overview

Biological Sciences 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 Biology is assessed through practical reports as well as written papers, and the lab component is what makes the timetable full. We currently work with 2 universities on this course across 2 cities.

Tuition ranges from £22,200 to £32,100 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
