About this course

BSc (Honours) in Evolutionary Biology, a human biology degree centred on the historical processes of life and biodiversity. Core topics include Research Methods. The course spans four years full time and is structured around a progression from foundational biological principles to specialized study. The first year covers core principles through Biology 1 and Biology 2. The second year builds on this foundation with modules such as Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Invertebrate Zoology, and Research Methods in Biology. In the third year, students can select from optional modules including Animal Behaviour, Ecosystems and Conservation, Evolution, Genes, Cells and Development, Infection and Disease, and Methods in Aquatic Biology.
