An engaging yet challenging course with plenty of practical work and a wide range of topics covered. However, the difference between biological sciences and biology is still unknown to me (or the lecturers it would seem!) read more

Biological Sciences, BSc Hons FullTime

It’s a good course - work is fast paced but not so bad you can’t keep up and it’s mostly pretty interesting, but every course has one or two bits that drag a little! Lecturers are also pretty good, occasionally a little difficult to understand but only really if you’re going back over the lectures at a fast clip. There’s a lot of little weekly tests and assessments which I quite like, to help get an understanding of how well a subject has been understood. read more
