Undergraduate students

Academic requirements

You will need to show that you have sufficient knowledge and experience to study with us at the required level. Most UK students have spent two years studying Chemistry and Biology intensively to a reasonably advanced level.

Further information on module choices

Acceptance on all modules requires you to have studied to an acceptable level of prior knowledge
If you would like to study modules from more than one academic year or department, timetabling constraints will affect which modules you can choose. Module codes indicate the stage/year: C is stage 1; I is stage 2; H is stage 3; and M is stage 4. Choosing modules from the same stage will reduce the chance of timetable clashes
Some modules are only available to students on a Biochemistry course
Please include your module preferences (including the module codes) in your application, otherwise your application may be rejected

Choosing your modules

Please see the list of modules. This list is indicative of the type of modules which may be available during your study period. Please note that not all Biology modules which are advertised in the Module Catalogue are available to Exchange and Visiting Students. Module choice and registration will take place during the first supervisory meeting. Learning agreements (if applicable) cannot be signed until this meeting.
