School of Natural Sciences

The combination of core biological sciences with forensic, chemical and engineering applications is an area of expertise that will equip students with sought-after skills in molecular biology, DNA profiling, evidence analysis, chemical processing and sustainability.

With accredited courses, expert teaching, and practical experience in state-of-the-art laboratories and industry placements, we prepare our students for meaningful careers across science, healthcare, conservation, energy, manufacturing and criminal justice. Our graduates possess the skills and confidence to apply their knowledge and solve real-world challenges that will shape a better future.

Our expertise in animal behaviour, welfare, bioveterinary science, marine biology and zoology broadens our students’ knowledge in biology, health and conservation of animals in both wild and managed environments, from understanding how animals think and act to tackling global challenges in marine ecosystems and animal health.

This cutting-edge area of expertise explores how biotechnology and stem cell science can revolutionise medicine, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. From developing regenerative therapies for chronic and age-related diseases to advancing breakthroughs in clinical research, it addresses some of the most urgent global challenges of the 21st century.

With a focus on innovation and real-world impact, this field prepares graduates to contribute to transformative solutions in healthcare, veterinary science, and beyond.
