Course summary

Biology is a wide and fascinating subject, involving the scientific study of living organisms from bacteria to the largest mammals, and this course, designed for those who do not have the appropriate qualifications to start the three-year BSc degree, will help you to develop knowledge and skills to open up a range of exciting career opportunities. Our proximity to a diverse range of contrasting environments plus our own facilities provides a wide scope for customising your learning experience. Local, residential and international field courses will allow you to work in habitats such as the spectacular marine coastal ecosystems, freshwater/wetland environments and terrestrial habitats of Gower.

A £1.3m Visualisation Centre, a £1.6m purpose-built 18m catamaran-class survey vessel equipped with state-of-the-art survey and research equipment based in Swansea Marina, a £4.2m science laboratory facility and a centre for sustainable aquatic research. The BSc Biology course is


accredited by the Royal Society of Biology

, and covers themes including animal and marine welfare and conservation, the biological control of invertebrate pests, microbiology, and ocean and climate.


All of our courses are available with a Year in Industry or Year Abroad
