The course is great for the money, loads of field trips and plenty of lab work makes for varied teaching and feel like the money was very well spent. All of the lecturers are very keen and interested in their subject, which makes their teaching extremely good too. They are very knowledgeable and willing to share that with all of us students, with that the lectures don’t drag on and they are very intriguing so you don’t get bored. The personal tutors are great and helpful to have, any concerns which you just aren’t quite sure about is great to have someone who you can talk to before taking and measures about it. He is good at listening and advising on where to go and what to do already, since only having a couple sessions I can already say this for certain. The actual content of the course is fantastic, the options you have are very vast and you can almost tailor your degree to the specific part of biology you are interested in. The job prospects are also very good for this subject.

I love studying biology however I wish we had a wider range of modules that we could learn. I would also prefer more contact hours and less self studying as it can be quite complicated to understand a concept on your own that could be explained in less than half the time by a specialist lecturer. read more

I had a very mixed experience with my course, some of the modules were great especially the biotechnology module but due to lecturers being spread thinly with little time on their hands, the quality of lectures / teaching / experiments was, at some times, poor. read more

With everything being online and no labs being in person it's just too much money. 1st year that was normal was good value of money though. Most professors are great but not all of them. Personal tutor is great just not always helpful. Course content not what i expected. Too much plant biology which I'm not a fan of personally. You could find a lot of jobs with a biology degree read more
