Biology

Biological science can answer today’s key challenges at a molecular, cellular and whole organism level.

Your four-year integrated Biology masters degree at the University of Southampton will equip you with an in-depth knowledge of species, communities, and entire ecosystems.

As well as gaining extensive experience from a variety of field trips in possible locations like the New Forest, Spain and Belize, you will have the flexibility to tailor your degree through our extensive range of modules, be based in our state-of-the-art, multi-million pound Life Sciences building and become a part of our diverse and passionate research community, complete extended projects in a specialised area of your choice, and spend your final-year embedded alongside one of our leading research groups.

You will also have the opportunity to take a year in employment, if you wish to gain experience in an industrial setting.

You will graduate with the skills needed for further study and for employment in a broad variety of professions* including laboratory-based research, jobs in the conservation and environment sector, and the media.

*99% of Biological Sciences graduates were in employment or further study 15 months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes 2020/2021).
