Our three Biological Sciences courses are:
For students on the three-year BSc course, there is the option of a placement year. Students who spend a year in the industry are allocated a placement supervisor and are visited by their academic supervisor while they are away from Durham. Students who go on a placement change their registration to a "with placement" degree during level 2. There is no placement option for those taking the four-year MBiol Biosciences course. The decision to opt for a placement year is made during your second year of study.
Modules from the Department of Biosciences can be taken as part of a bespoke Natural Sciences degree (BSc or MSci) to fit with student interests. The Department of Biosciences contributes to Joint Honours degrees as part of the Natural Sciences programme.
