Demand for trained biologists is high. Not just in the scientific world, but across different sectors and society as a whole. New generations of scientists are crucial to the future of our world. Become a biologist to carry out research, find solutions and create change to preserve our planet. Our teaching team have extensive experience. Studying with us, you’ll learn from our research on genetics, ecology, and the intersection of the two, so that you can make a real difference, whatever you decide to do. Alongside core areas, you’ll choose from a wide range of optional modules covering everything from physiology to computing skills. Mix and match to take a broad approach to your studies or drill deep into the areas that interest you. ## Diverse career opportunities Passionate about ecology, conservation or animal biology? You’ll have the chance to develop real-world skills with our field trips. Past students have studied large mammals in South Africa and explored ecological interactions in Croatia. A degree in biology opens up endless options. You’ll have the skills you need for a career in conservation and wildlife management, the agricultural industry or biotechnology. You’ll also be a great match for roles with clinical and laboratory work. We’ll make sure your CV dazzles potential employers and is packed with the experience you need for your first role. ## Fascinating Fieldwork We believe you should apply your skills to the real world too. As part of our core and optional modules, you’ll join us on trips across the UK and abroad. You might study tropical ecology in Kruger Park, South Africa. Or perhaps you’ll explore terrestrial and freshwater aquatic ecosystems in Croatia. Where in the world will this degree take you?

The minimum academic requirement is to achieve 60 credits overall, with 45 credits at Level 3, of which 18 credits must be at Distinction and 27 credits at Merit or higher. Applications are considered on a case by case basis, and we may request an interview. Due to the high volume of applications, we do not make offers of study purely on the basis of meeting grade requirements. | GCSE/National 4/National 5 Both GCSE English and Maths at grade C or 4 or an acceptable equivalent will be required. | Extended Project | We consider applications from students offering an EPQ and may make an alternative offer to include three A levels, one grade lower than our usual requirement, along with a specific grade in the EPQ. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: 32 UCAS points | 6,5,5 from three HL subjects, to include Biology at HL | Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016) | Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
