Biological Sciences (Genetics) MBiolSci
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-genetics-mbiolsci
Genetics is so much more than the study of inheritance. Fundamental to our understanding of health and disease, food security, conservation and ecology and the origins of life, genetics has a massive influence on ethics and society. On the MBiolSci, you will hone your research and laboratory skills and extend your medically specialised BSc programme into a fourth year of masters level study... -
Biological Sciences (Neuroscience) MBiolSci
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-neuroscience-mbiolsci
Computers are powerful machines, but no computer is more powerful or complex than the human brain. Studying neuroscience will reveal how brains and nervous systems work in animals, including humans – and what happens when something goes wrong... -
Biological Sciences (Microbiology) MBiolSci
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-microbiology-mbiolsci
Microorganisms may be small, but they tell us more about life on Earth than almost any other life form. On this degree you will learn how and why microorganisms cause disease and how microbes have been used for millennia in everything from food production to sewage treatment. On the MBiolSci, you will hone your research and laboratory skills and extend your medically specialised BSc programme into a fourth year of masters level study... -
Biological Sciences (Genetics) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-genetics-bsc
From human health to food production, genetics impacts many aspects of society. You’ll look at how genetics functions in today’s biosciences, as well as what it takes to work at the forefront of the industry. This degree includes the option to change your specialism in your second year... -
Environmental Science BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/environmental-science-bsc
As an Environmental Scientist, you will investigate the most pressing global and environmental challenges of our time. You will study a diverse range of topics, delivered by staff from Geography, Geoscience and Biological Sciences. Key topics include climate change, conservation, ecology, sustainable development and natural resources. You will gain key skills for monitoring environmental processes, mapping and recording biodiversity and ecological change, and managing the critical environmental challenges faced by society... -
Biological Sciences (Neuroscience) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-neuroscience-bsc
The nervous system extends throughout the body both in Man and in other organisms to control many complex functions. Alterations in the structure and function of the nervous system, from the molecular to the systems level, can result in disease, thereby highlighting the importance of understanding the nervous system and being able to target it to treat disease... -

https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-microbiology-bsc
Microorganisms. They might be small, but they tell us more about life on Earth than almost any other living things. You’ll learn how they’re both helpful and harmful, as well as the evolving role of microbiology in biotechnology, health and disease. This degree includes the option to change your specialism in your second year... -
Biological Sciences (Biochemistry) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-biochemistry-bsc
All life forms are composed of a complex mixture of molecules and chemicals. What do they tell us about the baffling complexity of life and what happens when things go wrong? Welcome to the fascinating world of biochemistry... -
Biological Sciences (Zoology) BSc
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-zoology-bsc
Zoology covers the behaviour, ecology and evolution of everything within the animal kingdom. Alongside the fundamental theories of zoology, you’ll also gain hands-on lab and fieldwork experience. This degree includes the option to change your specialism in your second year... -
Biological Sciences (Biochemistry) MBiolSci
https://le.ac.uk/courses/biological-sciences-biochemistry-mbiolsci
Unpicking the biochemical processes that make all living things (and viruses) tick is the first step to understanding the mechanisms that define life. Welcome to the fascinating and diverse world of biochemistry.
