Now is the time to study Life Sciences! When I think back to my BSc in Biological Sciences, the subject areas were taught quite separately, with little integration between them. Modern Life Sciences is very different; the revolution of modern genetic techniques has enabled a much more connected perspective. Our students see this connectedness as intuitive in a way that seemed unimaginable only a few years ago.

 

If you are proactive, you can take advantage of the many opportunities that are on offer at the University of Bedfordshire. Our staff are involved in a variety of projects and collaborations and enjoy discussing their research ideas and consultancy activities with interested students. The University sponsors internships that can be used within the School of Life Sciences, so there are often opportunities available. The big question is what will you choose to do?

Life Sciences encompasses a wide breadth and diversity across exciting areas of study and are at the forefront of scientific research. Your degree will stimulate interest by exposing you to the range and scope of Life Sciences studies.

 

The innovative programmes will equip you with both specialist knowledge and specialist skills – as well as the transferable skills that are necessary wherever your subsequent career may take you. Life Sciences graduates with critical analytical skills and the ability to present complex information in a clear manner are widely sought after – taking you wherever you want to go.
