Biology
BSc (Hons) Biology BSc (Hons) Biology with Studies in the USA
What’s it about?
These programmes will develop your appreciation of the diversity of living organisms and your understanding of biological principles. They will also equip you with many of the personal and practical skills you will need for your future career. You get plenty of hands-on experience in the labs as well as many fieldwork opportunities.
These are flexible programmes designed to offer you plenty of choice, so that you can either study a broad range of topics or specialise in the subjects you are particularly interested in. These degree programmes are designed so that you do not need to have Chemistry at GCE A2.
What will I learn?
Year 1 modules cover theory and practice in a range of modules and set the foundations for year 2. In year 2 you will extend this knowledge and take part in a one-week residential field course on marine and freshwater biology at Dale Fort in west Wales. Year 3 includes a supervised research project.
If you are spending year 2 at Toledo in the USA, then you can choose from a range of modules including: molecular genetics, immunology, cell biology, microbiology, molecular biology, human physiology and human nutrition. This year abroad provides the experience and challenge of a different educational and cultural system. High standards are set, but career prospects can also be significantly improved. Many of our graduates have become prize winners, named on the Toledo University President’s list. You pay only 50% fees during your year in the USA. If you choose to spend year 2 in the USA then this is marked under the American system and presented as a Grade Point Average. This contributes 25% toward your final degree classification in Salford.
Modules include: • Molecules to Microbes • Genetics • Cell Biology • Biodiversity • Human Physiology • Clinical Genetics and Immunology • Terrestrial and Freshwater Habitats • Parasite and Vector Biology • Biology of Parasites • Medical and Public Health Microbiology • Biotechnology • Applied Hydrobiology • Terrestrial Ecology • Clinical Immunology
How will I learn?
Teaching is delivered through a combination of lectures, practical classes, small group tutorials, research projects and guided reading. There are both residential and day field course options throughout the programme.
Can I get work experience?
We encourage all of our students to take up an additional placement year between years 2 and 3 of the full-time course. In many cases this can be a salaried position with a major company or financial support linked to a public health laboratory or hospital (such as the Respiratory Physiology Unit at the Royal Aintree Hospital in Liverpool). Many students stay in the USA for another year for their placement.
Where can I get a job?
The Biology degrees provide an excellent basis for careers in biomedicine, biotechnology, conservation, the pharmaceutical or food industries, as well as research and teaching.
