Course Overview

This extended degree course is ideal if you wish to study for a university degree but you don't have the necessary Level 3 qualifications required for direct admission. You can complete an optional work placement year as part of this degree course at no extra cost.

Biological science covers everything from the complexities of the genetic code to ecosystems on land and in the oceans. You study modules as diverse as endocrinology, molecular ecology and environmental sustainability. Your broad study base is ideal for employment in a range of biology-related specialisms. In the first year of study, you develop your knowledge in maths and the fundamentals of biological, chemical and physical sciences, together with material to help you develop numerical, communication, practical and learning skills. Successful completion of your first year enables you to proceed confidently on to the remainder of your degree course. You study at Teesside University’s main Middlesbrough campus, but during your degree, you have the opportunity to gain valuable experience at the new National Horizons Centre at the University’s Darlington campus which is home to a range of state-of-the-art facilities.

The foundation year modules provide excellent preparation for our science-based degree studies. You enhance your understanding of mathematics and science to prepare you for the remainder of your course.
