Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Biological Sciences (Human Health)

Program Overview

BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences (Human Health) will provide you with knowledge and subject-specific skills in all biological sciences disciplines with a focus on human health. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the foundations of cell and molecular biology, nutrition, and exercise science. Later years will enhance your experience in areas of biology related to human health including anatomy and physiology.

You’ll develop your critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving skills. You’ll learn about scientific concepts, evaluate research findings, and present innovative solutions to complex biological problems using a range of media. You’ll work independently and collaboratively, and engage in group projects, scientific discussions, and research initiatives. Your studies are led by internationally excellent staff that provide globally connected learning and the opportunity to study from other Heriot-Watt campuses through Go Global

Hands-on laboratory work is prominent throughout the degree, and you’ll have access to our state-of-the-art labs where you can put theoretical knowledge into practice. This will help you gain valuable skills in interpreting and analysing scientific data.  

As well as building your skills in biological sciences, you’ll develop sought after soft skills, such as problem-solving, communication skills, and practical presentation skills. You’ll also understand the vital role of a biologist across a range of professional fields including research and development, quality assurance, environmental monitoring, and public health.

This industry-focused degree will ensure you have the understanding, knowledge, skills, and personal qualities required to fully understand the influence that human health has on our daily lives, and you’ll become a confident graduate ready to undertake a wide range of careers within the scientific or other employment sectors.
