Entry requirements
A level: CCC-CCD (This course is suitable for non-standard entrants, including mature returners to study with Science qualifications below the standard required for entry to a degree. Required subjects: Biology A-level We require English Language and Mathematics GCSE at grade 4(C). T-levels We accept T-levels for admission to our undergraduate courses, with the following grades regarded as equivalent to our standard A-level requirements: AAA* – Distinction (A* on the core and distinction in the occupational specialism) AAA – Distinction BBB – Merit CCC – Pass (C or above on the core) DDD – Pass (D or E on the core) Where a course specifies subject-specific requirements at A-level, T-level applicants are likely to be asked to offer this A-level alongside their T-level studies.)
About this course
BSc in Biosciences, focusing on Genetics, with an Integrated Foundation Year. Core topics include Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Data Analysis, Statistics and Clinical Skills. The Integrated Foundation Year develops foundational mathematical and scientific skills before the three-year degree. A supervised individual research project in year three leads to an 8,000-word report and oral presentation.
