The programme details of this course are provided by:School of Biology: The School of Biology is one of the leading departments of Biology in the UK offering a wide breadth of biology degrees from Marine Biology to Molecular Biology. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008), 95% of BiologyÕs research was judged to be Ôworld leading', 'internationally recognisedÕ or ÔexcellentÕ which complements our excellent grading in teaching quality and consolidates our commitment to research-led scholarship.School of Psychology and Neuroscience: The School of Psychology & Neuroscience is housed in a quiet quadrangle where our historic buildings have been modernised to a high standard. Our academics are closely involved in research as well as teaching, and the School is ranked among the top in every one of the national Research Assessment Exercises (RAEs). This excellence in research has immediate benefits for the teaching of our undergraduate students who are able to undertake research projects supervised by experts in their field. Many of our students go on to further research, as well as a range of other careers in the private and public sector.
