From assessing the effect of medication on the human body and exploring methods to prevent species extinction, to addressing issues such as climate change and natural hazards, you'll consider today's global challenges through both a biological and geographical lens. The biology component of this programme covers a range of fundamentals, as well as topics including animal biology, physiology and anatomy, ecology and plant biology, and animal behaviour and microbes, viruses and parasites. You will explore the adaptability of life to differing environments and the biology of pathogens, and will learn how to design an experiment and analyse data. You can also begin to tailor your degree to your own interests and career aspirations with a range of optional modules. As a geographer, you'll understand the complexity of the natural world, monitor how it changes and use this information to address complex issues such as biodiversity loss, water resource management and pollution.
