Embark on the BSc Evolutionary Biology at the University of Exeter, a comprehensive programme designed for those fascinated by the intricate processes that have shaped life on Earth. You will delve into the core principles of evolutionary ecology, genetics, and animal diversity, gaining a deep understanding of the mechanisms driving adaptation and speciation. This degree is ideal for aspiring scientists who want to explore the fundamental questions of life's history and its ongoing transformations, preparing you for impactful careers in conservation, research, and beyond.
This full-time, three-year undergraduate degree is studied on campus, integrating theoretical knowledge with essential practical skills through lectures, laboratory sessions, and significant fieldwork. In your second year, you will undertake a compulsory field course to observe evolution in its natural setting, with options ranging from Scottish ecosystems to virtual explorations. Your final year culminates in an independent research project, allowing you to specialise and collaborate closely with academic staff. You will graduate with a robust understanding of evolutionary biology and the analytical capabilities to pursue advanced studies or careers in scientific research and environmental management.
