What you can study

Biological Sciences at Bristol is distinct: we cover all aspects of biological life, from genes and cells to populations and ecosystems. Our focus on animals, plants and microbes covers the molecular to the ecological, reflecting how interdisciplinary modern biology has become.

You will find units on:

• evolutionary biology
• animal behaviour and sensory biology
• plant and agricultural sciences
• ecology and environmental change

Pre-requisites

At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:

• Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
• Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
• Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.
