Biological Sciences encompasses many aspects of the biosciences, from molecules to ecosystems and includes exploration of:\
• Biological diversity, systematics and conservation\
• Cell and tissue structure, function and physiology\
• Ecology and behaviour\
• Form and function of microorganisms, protists, fungi, plants and animals\
• Genetics and mechanisms and pathways of evolution\
\
The MSci Biological Science degree programme is underpinned by research. MSci students gain in-depth knowledge and understanding through research-led discovery. In the final year, students are immersed in a research-active environment where they develop subject specific research skills through completion of a full time project.\
\
During stages 1-3 students will gain practical laboratory- and field-based skills to help them investigate and manipulate biological material including relevant physical, chemical and biological measurements and their application in a laboratory, field, and research project setting. During the third year research project module students will have access to cutting-edge research facilities across the molecular and ecological disciplines. Additional skills achieved include: Collation, quantitative analysis and interpretation of experimental data, including problem-solving; communication and application of knowledge; the use of computers for data management and presentations, and the development of intellectual, personal and team skills for employment and further study.

Biological Science graduates are employed in sectors which are addressing worldwide problems such as climate change, food supply and security, biodiversity loss, and global health issues.

### Course highlights

##### Professional Accreditations

Royal Society of Biology Accreditation \
\
This course has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. This highlights the academic quality of the course and recognises the course in enabling graduates to meet the needs of the employer through development of technical and transferable skills.

##### Career Development

Optional work placements (16 weeks) on these degree programmes provide students with the opportunity to utilise the practical skills gained during the teaching of their degree and apply these in a work environment. In previous years, students have gained placements with organisations such as Almac Pharma Services, Norbrook Laboratories, Warner Chilcott, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Belfast Zoo, the National Trust, Atlantic Whale Foundation, and the RSPB. In addition, students can avail of opportunities to undertake short summer placements abroad through programmes such as IAESTE, Operation Wallacea, and Frontier.

##### Student Experience

Final year intensive research projects allow students to gain considerable research experience in one of the research laboratories at Queen’s University Belfast. Working alongside world-leading researchers enriches the students experience and assists them in pursuing a career in academia or in research.

##### Further Study Opportunities

Those wishing to pursue a career in academic research will normally obtain a PhD, and MSci Biological Sciences graduates are well-placed to compete for places on PhD programmes especially in the context of the experience gained during the final year-long Research Project. 

Taught Master’s (MSc) programmes offer the opportunity to train in specialist areas within the Biosciences (e.g. parasitology, animal behaviour and welfare, food security and more) in order to enter professions in those fields or to further enhance academic and research skills before embarking on a PhD; see the University website for further study information on specific courses.

Alternatively, the transferable skills gained during completion of the MSci Biological Sciences will place students in excellent standing for specific graduate programmes to enter professions such as accountancy, management or journalism. Many of our graduates undertake the postgraduate teacher training programme (PGCE) for entry into the teaching profession.

> “Studying Biological Sciences (with Professional Studies) at Queen’s allowed me to experience several different aspects of Biology and gave me the flexibility to decide which pathway interested me the most, as well as allowing me to gain many different skills in the process. My favourite part of the degree was the final year Honours project: being able to carry out my own unique research project was highly enjoyable, and well worth all the work involved! Studying Biological Sciences inspired me to pursue a career in research and gave me the confidence to begin a PhD project in QUB.”\

> “Studying MSci Biological Sciences at Queen’s enabled me to study different aspects of the Biosciences including Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Zoology. This helped me to decide which area I wanted to work in and gave me valuable experience in a range of laboratory techniques. The third and final year research projects allowed me to conduct my own research on a specialist topic which I had learned about during my studies. These experiences were very rewarding and encouraged me to continue my research career by beginning a PhD at QUB.”\
