BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences (Human Biology)

... United Kingdom
... University of Worcester

Course Overview

We are living through an age of unprecedented scientific discovery, with the mapping of the human genome and the potential of stem cell research revolutionizing the understanding of how our bodies work and how we can have completely novel approaches to treating genetic conditions. We cannot even imagine the likely changes that we will see in our ability to treat disease and perhaps even prolong the human lifespan. By the end of the century and even in the short term, the current revolution in our understanding will begin to impact our daily lives. By studying at Worcester, you can help shape this future.

For this course, we have adopted a practical approach to learning, with brand new laboratories equipped with the latest technologies, so you can get hands-on with the topics that interest you the most. In your final year, you will carry out an independent research project to showcase your development and set you apart from other graduates.

Upon completion of this course, you will have developed a wide range of intellectual, practical, and social skills that are much in demand by employers. These include primary research and critical evaluation skills, communications skills, both written and oral, and a range of technical and IT skills such as the use of DNA technology, IT-based analysis, data analysis, and applied statistics.

Human Biologists, who can solve problems, look at the evidence, and make measured and reasoned arguments, are not only required in scientific fields but also in other fields - such as the media, retailing, and finance - to ensure there is a balanced view relating to new technology and that any risks are neither under nor overstated. There is also a need for people to be able to explain these scientific arguments in layman's terms, not only in teaching but also in a wide range of other vocations.

This course will prepare you for a number of different career paths including work with the police, laboratory practice, medical and laboratory sales, and postgraduate degrees. Some students are using this course as a route into postgraduate medical school.
