What is Bioscience?
Rapid advances in technology and knowledge have a daily impact on our lives, from the air we breathe to the food we eat and the environment in which we live.
Biosciences at Nottingham encompasses a range of areas as diverse as genetic engineering of microorganisms and plants, environment and its protection; modern therapeutic applications in the medical and pharmaceutical field; the growth, development and reproduction of plants and animals; the production and preservation of agricultural and food commodities; food manufacture, nutrition and health.
How will I study?
Our degree programmes are all modular, which allows you a certain degree of flexibility to select modules that are of personal interest. Essential core modules have been specified for each degree programme – these ensure you have the core skills, knowledge and competencies required in your chosen discipline of Biotechnology or Nutrition. After the first year of study, you can select complementary modules that are of interest to you.
Coursework and exams will be used to assess your progress during and at the end of each semester. Most of your learning will be via lectures, which are supported by practical classes and tutorial sessions. You are encouraged and facilitated to become independent learners. Your personal tutor and the module convenors will guide you through the modules and assist with any difficulties you might face.
Career prospects
Our graduates are highly sought after and the majority secure employment or continue with further studies within six months of graduation. As a Biosciences graduate, you will find a range of opportunities such as research scientist, analyst, technician, project manager, consultant, educator and advocator in both the public and private sectors.
Your skills and knowledge can be applied in laboratories, hospitals, research organisations, agricultural and plantation companies, bio-production and manufacturing plants, the food and health industry, the development sector and many others. Our graduates have found employment with local and international companies including CCM chemicals, Danone, Dutch Lady, Johnson and Johnson, Pharmaniaga, Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD), Syngenta and Unilever.
