Teaching

As a School of Biological Sciences, we cover a broad range of topics both in our research and in our teaching. Because all of our teaching staff are involved in world-class research, all students receive an up-to-date curriculum of international standard. We are a dynamic and friendly School and actively encourage student involvement with biological research. Whether you are a student looking for an excellent undergraduate education in biological science, a prospective postgraduate looking to extend your biological experience by undertaking further coursework, or a postgraduate seeking a research degree, as Head I extend a warm welcome to you all.
