50 University of Bath Faculty of Science Biology & Biochemistry Why study Bioscience at Bath?


The Department of Biology & Biochemistry prepares graduates to play vital roles as practical scientists, as interpreters of modern biology and as agents who also, in other ways, can make a real difference to our future. Many of our graduates go on to research careers, undertaking research degrees and further training, and a high proportion become experts in their field.


The Department is housed in its own building with two newly completed extensions. We have well-equipped, purpose-built laboratories providing excellent facilities for undergraduate teaching and research.


The Department’s active research profile feeds into the teaching, giving students the opportunity to explore the boundaries of knowledge with individuals who are pushing forward those boundaries. This provides a stimulating environment in which to study.


As an integrated life sciences department, we are well placed to offer a range of programmes and to share core areas across programmes. This sharing allows students the flexibility to switch between programmes up to the end of Year 1.


Molecular & Cellular Biology Many of the recent headline-grabbing advances and controversies in medical and agricultural science are due to our increased knowledge of how molecules and cells work in living organisms. This programme focuses on this knowledge and its applications.


Biochemistry Biochemistry provides a fundamental understanding at the molecular level of all life processes. With an increasing emphasis on front-line research as the programme progresses, this course will allow students to enter a wide variety of academic, industrial and medical-related careers.


Biology Our Biology programme ranges from the molecular to the population level and incorporates a large element of choice. Specialities include organismal interrelationships, particularly pathogenicity and behaviour of micro-organisms and their hosts, developmental biology and genomic evolution.
