MSci Biology with Professional Placement
2025 entry
Course summary
The MSci is ideal if you have ambitions to continue in biological research and want a competitive edge when applying for a PhD or research jobs.
This five-year course is an expansion of our MSci Biology, allowing you to spend your third year gaining experience in industry.
This course is available by transfer. To apply, make your application to MSci Biology and register your interest to add a professional placement once you have joined us. Placement opportunities are based on first-year examination results and a successful application to a participating employer.
Our Biological Sciences degrees explore the subject in detail but do not focus on human biology. If human biology is your main area of interest, we recommend you explore the courses we offer in Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences, Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Physiological Science and Psychology.
