Embark on the BSc Evolutionary Biology with Professional Placement at the University of Exeter, a degree designed for those fascinated by the intricate mechanisms that drive life's diversity and adaptation. You will delve into the core principles of evolutionary ecology, genetics, and behaviour, exploring how populations change over time and the ecological pressures that shape them. This programme is ideal if you possess a strong scientific curiosity and a desire to understand the fundamental processes underlying biodiversity and conservation, preparing you for a career at the forefront of biological science.
This full-time, four-year undergraduate degree, studied on campus, combines theoretical knowledge with essential practical skills through lectures, laboratory work, and extensive field courses in the UK and internationally. You will develop your analytical abilities by examining biological data and gain hands-on experience in evolutionary ecology, behaviour, and conservation. The programme culminates in a substantial independent research project, allowing you to specialise in an area of evolutionary biology. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding and practical experience, ready for roles in research, conservation, or further postgraduate study.
