Master of Science (Hons) in Biological Sciences with Professional Placement

Program Overview

The Biological Sciences with Professional Placement MSci course offers the opportunity to combine an academic degree course with a full year of professional training in a setting outside the University.

This flexible Biological Sciences with Professional Placement degree programme combines academic education with professional training in a non-University setting. The modular course programme allows you to explore the full spectrum of biology, from ecosystems and organisms to molecular biology, keeping either a broad perspective or focussing on a narrowly defined area.

Students on the MSci Professional Placement course cannot be awarded one of the 3-year specialist degree titles (Genetics, Zoology). Nevertheless there are no restrictions on your ability to choose modules of these areas.

The placement extends over 10-11 months, intercalated between the second and final year. The project you will pursue during your placement allows you to apply your skills at an early stage in industry, non-governmental or public sector organisations.
