BSc Evolutionary Biology
About this course
BSc in Evolutionary Biology, a human biology degree centred on the processes and patterns of biological evolution across diverse species and ecosystems. Core topics include Statistics, Research Methods, Fieldwork, and Environmental Analysis. Students undertake practical training through both UK and international fieldwork opportunities. The first year establishes fundamental concepts through compulsory modules such as Ecology and Conservation, Animal Diversity, and Evolution and Genetics, alongside optional study in Life Processes. The second year advances core knowledge with compulsory modules including Evolutionary Ecology, Analysis of Biological Data, Animal Behaviour, Scotland Field Course, Biosciences Penryn Virtual Field Course, Scillies St Agnes Field Course, and Scillies St Mary's Field Course, while offering optional modules such as Population and Community Ecology, Wildlife Disease, Conservation Science, Marine Ecology, Wildlife Exploitation, Adaptations to Life on Earth, and Biogeography.
