About Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biological Science

Biology is the scientific study of living organisms and deals with every aspect of life. During the BSc (Hons) Biological Science course, students will examine the physiology of the human body and how it’s affected by disease and drugs. They'll study the structure, biochemistry and mechanics of the cell, as well as evolutionary processes and genetics, both in mammals and microorganisms.

As students progress, they can choose from a wide range of modules including blood sciences, pharmacology, microbiology, immunology and drug discovery. They'll gain the technical, analytical and practical skills needed to investigate biological phenomena in microorganisms, plants, humans and animals

On this undergraduate course, students have the chance to take a year-long work placement or study abroad for a year at one of the partner universities worldwide, either of which will boost their employability. 

This programme has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. Advanced Degree Accreditation by the Society recognizes academic excellence in the biosciences, and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.

Hertfordshire's Biological Science graduates are highly sought after by employers in the industry due to the University's teaching reputation, the vocational element of the degree and the fact that many students already have a year's work experience when they graduate.

Graduates can find employment in the pharmaceutical, food and drink, agrochemical and biotechnology industries as well as in industrial, academic and charity funded research. Some graduates also go on to work in health care and environment agencies. Typical job titles include Trainee Biomedical Scientist, Clinical Trials Associate, Drug Safety Coordinator, Medical Representative, Lab Scientist, Microbiologist, Research Assistant, Tissue Culture Technologist, Donor Transplant Assistant.
