Stage 1: Modules provide a broad coverage of the fundamentals of biology, including: biochemistry and biological chemistry; cell biology; genetics and characteristics of animals, plants and micro-organisms. Stage 2: Core areas of biochemistry and molecular biology; how animals and plants function; and biotechnology; students enhance their technical skills with modules covering topics such as recombinant DNA technology, as well as in the use of quantitative techniques important to applied biology. Stage 3: Modules build on the material covered in previous stages, generally studying subjects in greater depth and often emphasising recent discoveries; students take biotechnology and cell biology, and consider the relationship of biology to society and the environment through a module on the social impact of biology; practical skills, and the ability to plan and organise, are developed through the research project, which is supervised by a member of academic staff; students write up the project as a dissertation and present the results to their fellow students as a poster or talk.

The successful application of biology depends on a sound understanding of how organisms function; this course provides grounding in the molecular and physiological basis of biology from the subcellular to the whole-organism level, with the opportunity to concentrate on specific areas of applied biology at stages 2 and 3; between stages 2 and 3, students can undertake a year-long work placement in an approved company or organisation.
