Research
Research here focuses on seven fundamental themes.
From global warming to life-threatening infections, our world-leading research focuses on today’s key challenges. Working in collaboration with different disciplines and with other Universities, private industry and the public sector, we see science as a means to achieve real-life benefits.
A firm foundation of academic excellence enables us to support and inspire the bio scientists of the future. We offer undergraduates a broad-based training with specialist options across the discipline, while postgraduates can take advantage of a supportive and stimulating research environment.
The University’s £50m investment in a Life Sciences Building illustrates the commitment to learning and innovation in the biological sciences. Biological sciences moved into the new building in autumn 2010, providing academics, researchers and students with a thriving collaborative environment and cutting-edge facilities.

Biological Sciences' broad-based programmes give our undergraduates the opportunity to study a wide range of topics and discover their talents before specialising.
Postgraduates benefit from our world-leading facilities, excellent academic support from our Graduate School, and collaborations.
Our expert knowledge of the life sciences places us in a key position to contribute our scientific expertise to projects and develop innovative solutions for a wide range of industry and community partnerships.
