Program Description

Our combined honours Human Biology and Mathematics BSc provides you with the opportunity to develop your expertise in two exciting and engaging topics.

Human Biology explores the physiology of the body’s major systems, human health, disease and the relationship between the human body and the environment. From exploring how our lifestyle and genes affect our risk of disease to discovering the latest developments in cancer research, you will have the opportunity to explore a broad range of topics that are of increasing importance in medical research and underpin the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

Mathematics can be related to almost every aspect of the world we live in. This is why our curriculum is carefully designed to ensure you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of the discipline, so you can apply these principles to the real world and develop high level problem solving skills. In the final year you may study diverse and fascinating topics like cryptography and fluid mechanics, not to mention mathematical biology & medical statistics. 

GAIN PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IN INDUSTRY

In an increasingly competitive job market, employers are seeking to recruit employees who have high-level knowledge, skills and an understanding of the workplace. If you're unsure which area of human biology you want to focus on, work experience can provide insight into what work is like in a specific field. From a year working in industry to summer secondment research placements in the UK or overseas, our programme offers many opportunities to gain familiarisation with the professional working environment, develop professional contacts and apply the skills and theories you have learnt.
