Where could the course take you?

Biology holds academic weight in university applications and it opens exciting opportunities in both science and non-science careers, due to the wide-ranging knowledge and transferable skills it provides. Many of our students go on to read Biology-based subjects at university such as medicine, dentistry and veterinary science. We will help guide you through the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) and BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT) examinations to ensure that you have every opportunity to fulfil your ambitions.
